ハワイ島　シュノーケルクルーズ　SUP体験もできる充実ツアー！貸し切りプランあり＜午前／朝食・昼食付き＞ by フラカイ号

Meet at the gathering place by taxi. タクシーで集合場所へ

Reviewed by: fkawakam

I took a taxi from the hotel in Kailua-Kona. I don't remember the exact price, but I think it was just over $30 including the tip. When I told the taxi driver "Keauhou Bay," he asked, "Which tour company?" so I said "Fair Wind," and he took me there. The driver also checked the return time at the tour desk and came to pick me up.

At Kealakekua Bay, I encountered a pod of dolphins. Two of them came right up to the front of the boat and even jumped. I'm not sure what the chances are of seeing dolphins, but it seems to happen fairly regularly.

As for snorkeling, while the fish population wasn't very dense, I think it was enjoyable enough.

The food was quite good for being served on a boat. However, it seemed that the coffee ran out halfway through, so it was disappointing that there were only cold drinks available during lunch.

Since you might be exposed to direct sunlight in some areas of the boat, I think it's a good idea to have a hat and a rash guard.

カイルア・コナのホテルからタクシーで移動しました。値段はうろ覚えなのですが、確かチップ込みで$30をちょっと越えるぐらいだった気がします。タクシーの運転手には「ケアウホウベイ」と言うと、「ツアー会社は?」と聞かれたようなので、「フェアウインド」と言ったら連れて行ってくれました。また、運転手の方はツアーデスクで帰りの時間をチェックして迎えに来てくれました。

ケアラケクア湾ではイルカの群れに遭遇しました。そのうちの2頭は船のすぐ先までやってきてジャンプまでしていました。どのくらいの確率でイルカに遭遇できるのかはわかりませんが、そういうことも普通にあるようです。

肝心のシュノーケリングですが、魚影はそれほど濃くはないですが、それなりに楽しむことができると思います。

食事は船の上でいただくにしては美味しかったです。ただコーヒーが途中でなくなってしまったようで、昼食時には冷たい飲み物しかなかったのは残念でした。

船の上では場所によっては直射日光を浴びることになるので、帽子とラッシュガードがあったほうが良いと思います。

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＞

Second visit to the sandbar. ２度目のサンドバー

Reviewed by: kazue

Two years ago, we participated in a sandbar tour for the first time with my family, but due to the bad weather, it was too cold, and I regretted having to borrow a wetsuit and shivering on the boat. I wanted to see the amazing views again, so this time I joined with my daughter. Although the weather wasn't perfect, the scenery was much better than last time, and we were fortunate to encounter a school of manta rays, which is quite rare. I appreciated the timing of this trip. The relaxed atmosphere from the captain and the staff was great for us as repeat visitors.

The BBQ lunch we had on the boat was grilled directly by the captain himself, making for a perfect lunchtime while enjoying the views. It was delicious! After lunch, we went snorkeling and swam with beautiful tropical fish and turtles around the coral reefs.

Thank you to the Japanese staff member, Yukiko. I visit Hawaii every year, and I will definitely join the tour again next year!

２年前のお正月に家族で初めてサンドバーへのツアーに参加しましたが、天気も悪かったせいで、寒すぎてウエットスーツをお借りして、船の中で震えていたことが残念に思えていました。
最高の景色をもう一度見たくて、今回娘と二人で参加しました。
晴天とは言えなったのですが、前回よりも遙かに景色もよく、なかなか見ることのできない、マンタの群れに遭遇するなど、今回のタイミングに感謝でした。船長さんをはじめ、スタッフさんのラフな感じが２度目の私たちにはとてもよかったです。
船の中で食べたBBQランチは、船長さん本人がグリルで直接焼いてくれて、景色を眺めながら最高のランチタイムでした。美味しかったです！
ランチ後のシュノーケリングでは、サンゴ礁の周りにいるきれいな熱帯魚や亀と一緒に泳いだりできました。
スタッフの日本人女性ユキコ？さん、ありがとうございました。
毎年ハワイは行きますが、また来年もツアーに参加しますね～

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/水中写真付き＞

I'm so glad I chose this tour!!! ♡ このツアーにして良かった！！！♡

Reviewed by: みちゃ

I joined this tour after reading reviews. As someone who can't swim at all, I felt like I could swim on this tour, and I had been set on doing snorkeling here! After receiving explanations together, I practiced one-on-one with Teacher Chieko, who kindly encouraged me to relax, and before I knew it, my fear of the water disappeared. Once I got used to it, it was really easy!

I quickly got comfortable and joined everyone else, swimming with my husband holding my hand. I swam in the ocean for the first time in my life. The beauty of the underwater world was truly amazing!! I was able to see many fish and even a sea turtle♡

The only ones who swam energetically until the end were those wearing wetsuits (including me). I highly recommend wetsuits for sun protection and managing your health! Even though I was so anxious about not being able to swim, I wanted to keep swimming forever, and it was the best tour I had in Hawaii! My husband and I talked about wanting to do it again.

Teacher Dan was fluent in Japanese and great at making jokes, which made our time really enjoyable♫ Thank you for the wonderful photos!! I'm grateful to both of you☆ I want to try diving next time (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

口コミを見てこちらのツアーに参加しました。
まったく泳げない私はこのツアーなら泳げるような気がして、シュノーケルやるならここ！！ってずっと決めてました。
みんなで説明を受けた後、最初は泳げない私とチエコ先生とマンツーマンで練習し、その間優しい声をかけてリラックスさせてくれて、いつしか水に対する恐怖心はなくなってました。慣れたらとても簡単でした！
すぐに慣れてみんなと合流し、夫に手を引いてもらって泳ぎました。
…生まれて初めて海を泳げました。海の中の綺麗さは本当に素晴らしかったです！！たくさんのお魚にウミガメも見る事が出来ました♡
最後まで元気に泳いでたのは見事にウエットスーツを着てる人だけでした（私も）。日焼け防止と体調管理にウエットスーツは本当にオススメです！
あんなに泳げなくて不安だったのに、ずっとずっと泳いでいたいくらいで、ハワイに来て１番最高のツアーだったね！またやりたい！って夫と話してました。
ダン先生は日本語ペラペラでジョークが得意で話してて本当に楽しかった♫
素敵な写真もありがとうございました！！お二人に感謝です☆
次はダイビングで参加してみたいです(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

It was supposed to be Japanese-friendly, but there were only people who couldn't speak at all, which made me a bit anxious. We were the only Japanese participants. In a way, it was nice to feel like we were really abroad. However, the service was a bit careless, which was a bit tiring. I'm glad we got to see a lot of dolphins.

bad weather 悪天候

Reviewed by: risa

I think there were no issues with the pick-up service. They came to pick us up at the hotel right on time. The weather was bad from the morning, and although it hadn't started raining yet, it was the coldest day in Hawaii. The explanation for snorkeling was longer than expected, and while we listened to it in the water, my husband and I were shivering, but we finally couldn't take it anymore and went back to the boat to drink some warm tea (laughs). The others also looked quite cold. By the time the return bus came to pick us up, it had started to rain quite a bit, which was disappointing, but I think it would be enjoyable if the weather is good. ★

送迎などは何の問題もなかったと思います。きちんと時間どうりにホテルへ迎えに来てくれました。朝から天気が悪く雨までは降っていなかったのですがハワイで一番寒い日でした。シュノーケリングの説明が思った以上に長く、海に浸かったまま話を聞くので主人と二人でぶるぶる震えながら頑張っていましたがとうとう耐え切れず船に戻ってあたたかいお茶をのんでいました（笑）ほかの方たちもかなりさむそうにしていました。帰りのバスが迎えに来る頃にはかなりの雨がふりだし、残念でしたが、天候さえよければ楽しめると思います★

Whether the sandbar appears or the weather is good depends on luck.

I had the chance to meet dolphins for the first time. We sped ahead of a pod of dolphins on a thrilling boat ride! When we jumped into the water at the guide's timing, we got up close to a friendly family of dolphins, and we could even hear their cute voices underwater.

Don't miss the graceful swimming of our guide, Daisuke. He also shares his love for wild dolphins and his own dreams. If you're worried about seasickness, I recommend taking medication before boarding.

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＞

The Japanese guide, Tori-chan, is the best!! 日本人ガイドのトリちゃんが最高！！

Reviewed by: たけし

I participated in the night ocean tour while nervously anticipating the big manta rays.

We traveled to the spot by boat. Super fast!! While enjoying the beautiful sunset, our Japanese guide, Tori, explained the precautions and the ecology of the manta rays. Each manta has a name, and Tori said she could tell them apart. Amazing!! Incredible!! Also, if you get seasick, you might feel it on the boat. So, the advice was to look far away instead of nearby!

When we arrived at the manta spot, there were lots of boats!

There was a light directed towards the seabed under a surfboard, and we watched the manta rays come to the light while feeding on plankton. We floated, holding onto the rope attached to the surfboard, using only snorkels without fins, waiting for the mantas.

The night ocean was sparkling with plankton, like jewels, creating a very magical atmosphere. Watching the twinkling plankton made time feel slow, as if I had entered another dimension.

As I was daydreaming, a large manta ray came by. It swam so close that I thought it would bump into me as it did a full turn! At first, I was nervous, but I gradually got used to it and thought, "Come on, manta!"

Before I knew it, time flew by as I was completely absorbed in the experience.

When we got back on the boat, it had turned completely dark, even though it was beautiful with the sunset before we left.

Despite wearing a wetsuit, it was still cold.

This tour was wonderful because our guide, Tori, was very kind and lovely. She remembered my name and called me by it, which made me feel a sense of closeness and made me want to come back! Additionally, I learned more about the Big Island, making it a two-for-one tour.

I had been looking forward to this place for a long time. It was sunny, but as soon as we got on the boat, it started to rain... Fortunately, it stopped quickly. What impressed me the most was the service. The staff promptly wiped down the benches that had gotten wet from the rain. I didn't expect that at all since I was in my swimsuit and it was overseas, so I was really happy about it. Also, surprisingly, the boat's restroom was clean!

In addition to seeing sea turtles, we also spotted manta rays (which are said to be rare), and I was very satisfied with the snorkeling experience. The staff were all kind and entertaining. The lunch was delicious too; the captain grilled hamburgers on the boat, which made for great burgers.

The only downside was that the sandbar was a bit deep. But that can change from day to day, so I just had bad luck... I'm thinking about trying again next year. I would like to go with the same tour company as this time.

前々から行きたかった場所でとても楽しみにしていました。晴れていたのですが船に乗って早々雨が…
でもすぐ止んだので良かったです。でもここで良かったのはサービス。雨に濡れたベンチをスタッフの方がきちんと拭いて下さりました。水着だしましてや海外だし全くそんな事期待していなかったのにとても嬉しかったです。また船のお手洗いも意外にもキレイ！！
海ガメに加えマンタも見られ(マンタはたまにしか見られないそう)シュノーケリングも大満足。

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＞

Manta, amazing!! マンタ、ヤバい！！

Reviewed by: ちゃーまん

I visited the Big Island of Hawaii for the first time, and my main goal was to see manta rays! That's why I joined this tour.

First, there was our Japanese female guide, Torichan (sorry, I forgot her full name...). We drove there by rental car, but the place was so vast that we couldn't find the university and ended up going in circles until she kindly approached us. She had a perfect sun-kissed body, was energetic and kind, and made the tour enjoyable.

The tour started with us changing into wetsuits and listening to a brief explanation and safety instructions. Then we set off on a Zodiac boat. The boat had long benches facing away from each other, but we were thrilled to sit facing forward on the cooler at the front! (Once we left the harbor, we got to ride on the edge of the boat like on a banana boat.) It was exhilarating and quite bumpy. My companion gets seasick, so they took medication beforehand, but the rocking was so intense that it was beyond just feeling sick (laughs)...

Once we arrived at the spot, we took turns entering the night sea, holding onto modified surfboards, and waited for the manta rays while snorkeling horizontally. To keep ourselves horizontal, we placed our feet on noodles to float. They would slip off quickly, but if you shouted, "It slipped off!" the guide would help you put your feet back on. The guide did an amazing job in the pitch-black sea. m(_ _)m

Fortunately, we didn't have to wait long, and the manta rays came right away! It was truly incredible! We were so excited to see three to four manta rays gracefully swimming slowly! (This excitement continued in the car ride back and even after returning to the hotel.) After about 20 minutes, the manta rays swam away, and the tour ended safely.

On the way back, we enjoyed the thrill of speeding across the dark sea. I don't get seasick, but there were about 19 people, both Japanese and foreigners, and some of them felt unwell. Since there's a possibility of getting seasick while moving on the boat or floating in the sea, I recommend being in good health and fully prepared to participate. Otherwise, the amazing experience might be diminished.

Actually, we had to change our original reservation date due to bad weather, and I appreciate the courteous handling of the cancellation notice and reservation change over the phone. We were scheduled to move to Oahu the day after, so it was great that we could seize this last chance.

I'm glad I graduated from university after skipping middle and high school!!

今回初めてハワイ島を訪れました。その最大の目的はマンタを見ること！そのためこのツアーに参加しました。
まずは日本人女性ガイドのとりちゃん（すみません、フルネーム忘れました...）。レンタカーで行ったのですが、場所が広すぎて大学が発見できずグルグルしていると、声をかけて頂きました。完璧な日焼けボディで、元気で優しく、ツアーを楽しませてもらいました。
ツアーは、ウェットスーツに着替えて最初簡単な説明と注意事項等を聞き、ゾディアックボートで出発。ボートには背中合わせで横向きに長椅子があるのですが、私たちは先頭のクーラーボックスに正面向きに座らせてもらい感激！（港を出るとボートの淵にバナナボート風に乗せてもらえます。）スピード感あり結構揺れて楽しめます。連れは船酔いするため事前に薬は飲んではいたものの、揺れが激しすぎて酔うどころではなかったと（苦笑）...
さてポイントに到着後、順番に夜の海に入り改造サーフボードにつかまり、身体水平シュノーケリングでマンタを待ちます。水平を保つためヌードルに足の甲をのせて浮かせます。すぐに外れますが「外れたぁ～！」と叫べば、ガイドさんがまた足をのせてくれます。ガイドさん真っ暗な海上で大仕事です。m(_ _)m
この日はそれほど待つこともなく、すぐにマンタやってきました！ほんと、ヤバいです！この日は３～４枚ほどのマンタの優雅でスローな泳ぎに大興奮！！（この興奮は、帰りの車中はもちろん、ホテルへ戻ってからも続いてました。）２０分程でマンタもどこかへ行ってしまって、無事終了。
帰りも真っ暗な海を疾走するボートを楽しめます。
僕は船酔いしないのですが、この日も日本人＋外国人あわせて１９名ほどいらっしゃいましたが、具合を悪くされた方がいらっしゃいました。ボート移動や海に浮かんでいる時など酔われる可能性あるので、体調は整えて準備万端で参加されることをお勧めします。最高の感動が半減しちゃいますからね。
実は私たちは、当初の予約日が荒天のため翌日に変更してもらいました。その際も現地にてお電話で中止連絡頂や予約変更をご丁寧に対応頂き、感謝しております。翌々日はオアフ島へ移動する予定だったので、ラストチャンスを物にでき良かったです。
中・高とばして大学夜学部を無事卒業できてよかったです！！

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

This is suitable for people who want to study English. Be careful of sunburn! 英語の勉強をしたい人向きです。日焼けに注意！

Reviewed by: Joyce

I can speak English (intermediate level), but my husband cannot at all. However, after seeing some experiences, it seemed like we could enjoy it to some extent, so I decided to sign up to see Hawaii Island from the sea.

I thought my husband would feel more at ease if there was at least one other Japanese person in our group, but unfortunately, all five other groups were American. When we gathered at the shop and saw the others, my husband started saying, "Oh no..." While we did receive a paper with points of interest and precautions written in Japanese beforehand, to be honest, even if I tried to read the explanations of some highlights in advance, I couldn't retain the information, and if I couldn't catch what was being said, I had no idea which explanation corresponded to which sight.

The captain and the staff girl who accompanied us were kind. They paid attention to us properly. However, the chatter while on the boat was hard to hear due to the loud motor noise, and I couldn't even catch what the captain or staff were explaining to nearby people or the casual conversations they were having. I couldn't enjoy conversing with others. It seemed like the people around us sensed that it might be better not to talk to us, as we were quite alone during the snorkeling point, and my husband especially didn't seem to enjoy it that much. It might be more suited for those who don't mind their surroundings or for children.

It probably depends on the members of the group, but during our time, there were only adults, so the captain skillfully maneuvered the boat, which tilted quite a bit, making it a thrilling ride. However, even while moving, if you don't hold onto the rope tightly with one hand, you might get thrown off, so I think it would be difficult for anyone younger than upper elementary school age.

The snorkeling point was honestly average. Unfortunately, we couldn't swim with the dolphins, but they were always looking for dolphins, and thanks to that, we were able to observe different types of dolphins from the boat twice.

We took a taxi to the shop, and since I had requested them to call a taxi for our return, they kindly dropped us off at a nearby dock to save on taxi fare.

While we enjoyed the sea, it might not be suitable for those who are concerned about their surroundings. Also, please be careful about sunburn. I thought I had applied sunscreen thoroughly, but the hairline area that was exposed from under the snorkel mask got burned. And so did my parting... They told us to remove our caps as they might blow away. A hoodie with a hood is recommended.

他の人と会話を楽しむというようなことはできませんでした。
周りの人たちも、私たちには話かけない方がいいのかなみたいに
察したのか、シュノーケリングポイントでは随分時間があったのですが
私達はぽつんと２人きりで、特に夫はそれほど楽しめていないようでした。
周りを気にしない人や子供の方が向いているかもしれないです。

その時のメンバーによるのでしょうが、
私達の時は、大人ばかりでしたので
キャプテンがボートを自由自在に操って、ボートがかなり傾いて
スリルのある楽しい乗り物でした。
ただ進む際でも、片手ではしっかりロープを握って
いなければはじき飛ばされそうで、
せめて小学校高学年位でないと無理だろうなと思います。

シュノーケリングポイントは、正直普通でした。
残念ながら、イルカと一緒には泳ぐことはできませんでしたが、
イルカを見つけようと常に探してくれて、お陰で２度ボートの上から
違う種類のイルカを観察することができました。

ショップまではタクシーで行き、
事前に帰りはタクシーを呼んでねとお願いしていたら
私達のホテルの近所に桟橋があったせいか、
タクシー代節約してねと帰りはそこに寄って先に降ろしてくれたので助かりました。


海は楽しめましたが、周りを気にするような人には向いていないかもしれません。
あと、日焼けには注意してください。
私はがっつり日焼け止めを塗っていたつもりでしたが、
シュノーケルのマスクからはみ出した髪の毛の生え際部分が焼けてしまいました。
そして髪の毛の分け目も…。
キャップは飛ばされるので、外してねと言われます。
フードのついたパーカーがおすすめです。

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＞

It's different from what I imagined. 想像とは違います。

Reviewed by: hana

The sandbars you see on TV only appear when you calculate the tides. If you happen to experience a water depth of around your ankles, I think you’re quite lucky. The world you see on TV might be a bit difficult to experience on a tour, unless you rent a private boat and plan the date and time accordingly. When I went, it was from mid to late September, and the shallowest part was about halfway up my thighs.

Indeed, the water near the sandbar was clear and beautiful. However, it rained, and the overall experience was somewhat lacking.

The hamburgers made on the boat were delicious. The patties were frozen, but they grilled them on a BBQ, so they tasted great.

The issue came after lunch. We moved from the sandbar to an area with lots of coral for snorkeling. They took us to a place where you could say the coral spread over a large area. We were warned not to touch the coral, but depending on the tides, in shallow areas, the coral was about 30 cm below the surface. Can you swim in such places? The coral wasn’t particularly beautiful, and there weren’t many fish, so I didn’t feel the joy of snorkeling at all. Additionally, I was the only one who got stung by jellyfish multiple times on both shoulders and hands, having to endure pain and itching. You could say I was unlucky, but for this kind of experience, it felt overpriced.

テレビで観るようなサンドバーは潮の満ち引きを計算しないと現れません。
偶然にも足首程度の水深を体験出来た方は、かなりラッキーだと思います。
テレビで観るような世界は、ちょっとツアーでは難しいかな？プライベートで借り切って、日にちや時間も計算して行くなら別ですけど。
私が行った時は9月中旬～下旬にかけてでしたが、1番浅い所で太股の中間ぐらいでした。

確かにサンドバー近くは海は透き通っていて、きれいではありました。
しかし、雨は降るし、何とも言えない感じでした。

ただ船の上で作ってくれるハンバーガーは美味しかったです。( ´艸｀)パテは冷凍物ですが、BBQ用のコンロ？で焼いてくれるので、美味しかったです。

問題はランチを食べた後。
サンドバーから、珊瑚がたくさんあるところへ移動して、シュノーケリングをします。確かに珊瑚のの岩と言ってもいいぐらい大きい範囲にわたって珊瑚がある場所に連れて行ってくれます。
珊瑚には触らないようにと注意を受けましたが、潮の具合なのか浅いところだと水面から30cmぐらいの所に珊瑚があります。こんな所で泳げますか？？
特にキレイ珊瑚でもないし、魚がたくさんいるわけでもなく、シュノーケリングの楽しさが全く感じられませんでした。
そして私だけクラゲにたくさん刺されて両肩、両手と痛みと痒みに耐えなければなりませんでした。
運がなかったと言えばそれまでですが、こんな内容に対しては高いという感じです。

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＞

The veteran guided us to the dolphins with their foresight. ベテランの先読みでイルカまで導いてくれました。

Reviewed by: Sori

The veteran captain carefully considered the habits of the dolphins and the interactions with other boats when deciding on the points, so we were able to swim with the dolphins four times (he even extended one session for those who couldn't see them). I would like to use this service again if the opportunity arises.

ベテラン船長さんが、イルカの習性と他の船との兼ね合いなど全てを考慮してポイントを決めてくださったので4回(見れなかった人のために1回ねばってくださり)全てイルカと泳ぐことができました。また機会があれば利用させていただきたいと思います。

2.5-Hour Spirit of Aloha Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Tour with Cocktails from Hilton

AMAZING

Reviewed by: Heather

This was arguably one of the best things we did this trip!! Our crew was AMAZING! So friendly, patient and helpful. I can't say enough good things. I've never snorkeled before, I'm not a strong swimmer so I kind of panicked when I was just our in open water even with the group. The crew member leading us to Turtle Canyon saw me struggling, came over and swam me there where I became just mesmerized by how close we were to the fish & turtles I calmed down enough to actually snorkel! She also took my camera down and got crazy awesome pictures. Food was great, drinks were delicious, the sail was beautiful. I cannot say enough good things about this excursion. Worth every penny! Cannot wait to snorkel again!

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/水中写真付き＞

The guide was great. 良いガイドさんでした。

Reviewed by: みきちゃん

When we participated, there were many foreign participants, but they kindly taught us various things in Japanese, which made us feel at ease during the tour. It was my second time snorkeling, but perhaps because we were in the water for a bit longer than before, I got seasick. Next time, I want to take motion sickness medication before participating. I was disappointed that I didn't get to see any turtles. The view was very beautiful.

私たちが参加したときは、外国人参加者の方が多かったですが、日本語で丁寧にいろいろなことを教えてくださいって、安心してツアーに参加できました。シュノーケリングは何回目かでしたが、今までより少し長めの時間海にいたせいか、酔ってしまいました。今度は酔い止めを飲んでから参加したいと思います。亀に会えず残念でした。とてもながめはきれいでした。
