All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

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。

Great snorkling & sail. Turtle Canyon was full of giant sea turtles. Thanks to the crew for the great morning.

Fun few hours kayaking and snorkeling with Natasha and Sho. Our guides looked after us and had good knowledge of the area. We even managed to see dolphins on our way back to shore which was an added bonus.

I went to Sandbar, which I had wanted to visit for a long time, for my honeymoon. There were a lot of customers, and they made burgers on the boat, and we enjoyed activities like snorkeling and sea turtle watching. However, the weather was cloudy, so it was a bit chilly, and we couldn't play in the water. My husband enjoyed snorkeling by himself, though.

I recommend checking the tide schedule and making a reservation in advance since the water level changes with the tides. The shuttle bus was too cold due to the air conditioning, so please bring a warm outer layer. Also, I saw someone who got injured by bumping into coral, so I think it's best to stay away from the coral while snorkeling to enjoy it safely.

前から行ってみたかったサンドバーへ新婚旅行で行きました。
とても沢山のお客さんで船ではバーガーを作ってくれたり、シュノーケルや海ガメウォッチングなど楽しかったです。
ただ…天気が曇りだったので肌寒く海遊びができませんでした。
主人は一人でシュノーケル楽しんでましたが…
また潮の満ち引きで水位が変わるため、事前に調べて予約を取ることをお勧めします。
送迎のバスは冷房が効きすぎて寒いので厚手の羽織物を持参してください。
あとは珊瑚に足をぶつけてケガしていた人もいるので、シュノーケルする際は珊瑚に近づきすぎない様にすれば安全に楽しめると思います。

This was my second attempt at the Molokini Island snorkeling tour, but unfortunately, we couldn't go to Molokini Island due to the unfavorable wind direction. I couldn't go last time either. (Tears) We ended up snorkeling at a different spot (and I did see a sea turtle), but now I will try again for a third time! Until I can go to Molokini Island.

今回は二回目挑戦のモロキニ島シュノーケリングツアーでしたが、残念ながら風の向きが悪く
モロキニ島には行けませんでした。前回も行けず。（涙）
違うポイントでのシュノーケリングになりましたが（ウミガメも見れました）
こうなったら３回目に挑戦します！モロキニ島に行けるまで。

The guides were very kind, and the explanations were very easy to understand. I was able to see sea turtles clearly, so I was very satisfied! However, due to the timing of my visit, there were no completely exposed sandy areas, and there was a problem with the meeting point where I was almost forgotten, which nearly caused me to miss the shuttle bus.

ガイドのみなさん、とても親切で、解説もとてもわかりやすかったです。ウミガメもしっかり観れたのでここは大満足！ただ、訪れたタイミングの問題で、完全に砂場が出ている場所がなかったのと、待ち合わせ場所で忘れられてしまい、あやうく乗り合いバスに乗れなくなりそうになった誘導の問題があった点が残念。

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.

ハネムーンでハワイ島へ＾＾
参加後、投稿記載で1人分無料との事なので、現地集合プランで参加しました＾＾

★アクセス
シェラトンコナリゾートに宿泊したのですが、
ホテルから現地迄はタクシーで40＄（片道）でした。
チップを考慮してもお得でした。
復路も頼んでおかないと、長しのタクシーは居ないとの事だったので、
ホテルの方にお願いをし、往復で予約。

※帰り時間は要確認
バーチャーで記載して頂いた時間より1時間程早かったです。
集合時、タクシーの運転手さんとガイドの方が直接話して下さったので、外で待たされることは無かったです＾＾

集合場所は、タクシーの運転手さんに写真やマップを見せても悩んでいて、
到着迄は時間がかかりました。
早めの行動をおすすめします。

★ツアー内容
ガイドさんはとても明るく、日本語もペラペラでした♪

マンタと泳ぐポイント迄の船は、かなり猛スピードで楽しかったです。笑
他の方の投稿を見て酔い止めを飲んでおいたおかげか、船酔いはなかったです＾＾
途中で見た夕日もとてもきれいでした！！

マンタと泳ぐ際は、ライフジャケットもなかったので、
1ミリも泳げない私はとても心配でしたが、
ボードについているロープをつかんで浮いていれば良いだけだったので、
私でも楽しめました＾＾
心配無しです♪

目の前でマンタも見れ、とても大満足なツアーでした。
何匹ものマンタが何度も目の前に来てくれ、
触れるほどの距離です！（触れませんが＾＾）

11月ともなると行きから（帰りはもっと）寒いので、
大きめのタオルや羽織るもの等を持って行った方がよいと思います＾＾

I was nervous at first during my first snorkeling experience. However, I will never forget the excitement and surprise of seeing the dolphins! I want to see those beautiful dolphins underwater again.

初めてのシュノーケリングで、初めは緊張しました。でも、イルカを見た瞬間の感動と驚きは忘れません！美し過ぎるイルカをもう一度海の中で見たいです。

I was a bit anxious about participating with my 3-year-old and 7-year-old children, but we had a great time!

Since the reviews here were helpful, I wanted to write in detail as a thank you.

Check-in was at 8:30, so we arrived on time, but it turned out that the reception started at 8:30... arriving at 8:50 was totally fine.

The location is the beach at Outrigger Hotel. The nearby beaches are connected, so it seems fine to walk along the beach.

Everything was in English, but there were also Japanese instructions, so there were no issues. It didn't seem like they were saying anything too complicated.

The crew was kind and polite, so I had no worries. Plus, all of them were incredibly handsome. It was quite a treat for the eyes.

After setting sail, we arrived at the spot shortly after. We jumped right into the water. And immediately saw turtles! We spotted about four at once! One of the crew members stayed with our family and supported the kids, so we were able to enjoy it for a solid hour.

The kids got tired, so we got back on the boat, but it was cold during this season. It was also drizzling on and off, so warm clothing is essential. We brought two bath towels, a hoodie, and a light jacket, but having one more bath towel might have been better. Since we got wet, one towel for warmth would have been useful.

After that, we went sailing, which was super fast and felt like jumping! This was also very exciting.

Drinks were around $2 to $5. We could choose from beer, juice, and more. We paid after arriving, including tips.

In any case, we saw a lot of turtles! With the beautiful sea and the handsome crew, it was an incredibly fun experience! It wrapped up quickly in the morning, so I was satisfied with how we spent our time!

３歳と７歳の子供達を連れての参加だったので不安でしたが、とても楽しめました！

ここのクチコミが役に立ったのでお礼を込めて詳しく書きたいと思います。

チェックインは、0830だったので、間に合うように行きましたが、0830からの受付って事だったのですね…0850で全く問題無かったです。

場所は、アウトリガーホテルのビーチ。近辺のビーチは、繋がっているので、ビーチつたいに行っても問題なさそうです。

言葉は全て英語。案内は日本語もあるので、問題ありませんでした。
難しい事も言ってなさそう。

クルーも優しく、丁寧ですし、心配無かったです。そして全員がイケメンすぎる。
目の保養感半端ないです。

出航し、少ししたら、スポット到着。
すぐに海に入りました。
そしてすぐにカメさん！
4匹くらい一気に見れました！
家族に一人のクルーが付いてくれ、子供達をサポートしてくれたので、
しっかり1時間ほど楽しめました。

子供達が疲れたので船に上がりましたが、
この時期は寒い。
雨も降ったり止んだりなので、防寒は必須です。
我が家はバスタオル2枚、パーカー、羽織で行きましたが、バスタオルはもう一枚あった方が良かったかも。
濡れてしまうので、1枚防寒用に。

その後はセーリング、すごいスピードで、ジャンプするように！こちらも大興奮でした。

ドリンクは、2ドルから5ドルくらい。
ビール、ジュースなど選べました。支払いは到着後、チップと合わせて払いました。

とにかくカメさん沢山見れました！綺麗な海と、イケメンクルーで、最高に楽しかったです！
サクッと午前中で終わるので、時間の遣い方としても満足しました！

I was very fortunate to see a lot of dolphins, and it was a warm welcome. I also got to see sea turtles, which made me very satisfied. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

運が良かったのかとてもたくさんのイルカを見られて大歓迎でした。ウミガメも見られて大満足です。機会があればまた参加したいです。

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

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！

My first time in Hawaii,
I participated with my husband, feeling excited.
The Japanese-speaking guide, the beautiful sunrise, the clear ocean,
wild dolphins, sea turtles, and rays.
Everything became the best memory.
The crew was all very friendly,
and you could feel the teamwork.
I recommend taking motion sickness medication just in case, even for those who usually don’t get seasick!
There was someone who looked like they were struggling in a sitting position on the boat, saying, "I’ve never been seasick before..." with teary eyes. Better safe than sorry!
After all, we’re dealing with wild dolphins.
Of course, there are times when you might not see them.
However, no tour guarantees that you will see wild dolphins.
It seemed like it was a tough day for us too,
and we didn’t see them much, but we still had a great time otherwise, so I was very satisfied.
The guide, Tairiku, was really funny!
I will definitely participate again when I go to Hawaii.

初めてのハワイ、
ドキドキしながら夫婦で参加しました。
日本語でのガイド、綺麗な朝日、透き通る海、
野生のイルカとウミガメにエイ。
何をとっても最高の思い出になりました。
クルーの方もみんなとっても仲良し、
チームワークを感じます。
「いつも、船酔いしないから大丈夫」という人でも念のため酔い止めを飲む事をオススメします！
キラキラの海の中、終始、船の中で辛そうに体育座りをしている人が「酔った事なかったのに…」と涙目でした。念には念を！
相手は野生のイルカです。
もちろん会えない時もあります。
ですがどこのツアーも野生のイルカに会える事を確約するツアーではないです。
私達の時も難しい日だったらしく
あまり会えませんでしたがそれ以外でも楽しませてもらえたので大満足です。
ガイドのタイリクさんとっても面白い方でした！
ハワイに行く時はまた必ず参加します。

The underwater scooter that I had been wanting to try was amazing! (^_-)-☆ I received explanations in somewhat hesitant Japanese from the staff, and I wondered if it would be okay, but they were very kind and attentive when it came time to ride the scooter. I was truly impressed by the beautiful sea!! After getting off the scooter, I was able to snorkel, and for $30, you can download photos and videos. It gets very cold when you get back on the boat, so I recommend wearing a thick jacket, and also taking motion sickness medication. The staff worked very hard, but it would be nice if they had a few more smiles. I definitely want to participate again! (*^-^*)

是非やってみたいと思っていた水中スクーター、最高でした(^_-)-☆
スタッフの方のたどたどしい日本語で説明を受け、大丈夫かなと思いましたが、
スクーターに乗る時はちゃんと親切に対応していただきました。
とにかく美しい海に感激しました！！
スクーターから降りた後もシュノーケルが出来、３０ドル払うと写真とビデオがダウンロード
出来ます。
船から上がるととても寒いので、厚手の上着をお勧めします、それと酔い止めも～～
スタッフの方々は一生懸命に対応していらっしゃいましたが、もう少し笑顔があると
いいな～～～
又是非参加したいと思っています(*^-^*)

Since it had been raining since morning, I thought there wouldn't be any fish, but I finally got to see a turtle that I had been longing to meet! It was so close that I was almost scared to touch it! I was really happy! (^^)

Dan-sensei was very good at Japanese, and we all laughed and had fun during the car ride there and back! (^^)

Next time I go to Hawaii, I want to join the tour of Hanauma Bay or a diving tour!

朝から雨が降っていたため、魚はいないかなと思っていたのですが、念願のカメに初めて会えました！
すごい近くにいて触れてしまいそうで怖いくらいでした！笑 すごい嬉しかったです(^^)
dan先生が日本語がとても上手で、行き帰りの車もみんなで笑って楽しかったです(^^)
またハワイに行く時はこちらのハナウマ湾のツアーもしくはダイビングのツアーに参加したいです！

The weather was nice, although a bit cold, but I borrowed a wetsuit, so I was glad I didn't get cold! I was able to see a lot of fish. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any turtles (^ - ^;

I was able to safely snorkel because I could leave my valuables and belongings in the guide couple's locked box. Thank you very much.

お天気が良くちょっと寒かったのですがウエットスーツを借りましたので、
身体が冷えず良かったです！
たくさんのお魚を見ることが出来ました。
残念なことにカメさんには会えませんでした(^-^;

貴重品や持ち物などはガイドの御夫妻のカギ付ボックスに預かって頂けましたので
安心してシュノーケルが出来ました。
有難うございました。

Fortunately, according to the guide, we saw the most dolphins recently. We were able to see dozens of dolphins and even swim alongside them. The experienced guide would find the dolphins and maneuver the boat to the best spots for encounters, and participants would jump into the sea as instructed. The guide was also very kind, making it enjoyable even for those who were alone.

運良くですがガイドさん曰く最近では一番よくかつ多くのイルカを見られました。何十頭ものイルカを見られ、並んで泳ぐこともできました。熟練のガイドさんでイルカを見つけては一番遭遇できる場所まで小回りの効く船で先回りして、参加者は指示どおり海に飛び込むという感じです。ガイドさんもとても親切で一人でも楽しめました。

It was tough to gather early in the morning, but I heard that the best time to see dolphins is in the early morning, so I persevered.
As a reward for my efforts, I was moved to see so many dolphins! They swam close to us multiple times.
The crew was entertaining and amazing! The hula dance was also fun.
The hamburger after swimming with the dolphins was exceptional!

早朝で集合が早く大変でしたがイルカを見るなら早朝が良いと聞き頑張りました。
頑張ったご褒美♡イルカがたくさん見れ感動！何度も近くを泳いでくれました。
クルーの人たちを面白く最高！フラダンスも楽しかったです。
イルカと泳いだ後のハンバーガーは格別でした！

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！

I was initially anxious about my first trip to Hawaii, but the guide was truly wonderful and the best part of the experience. She was a cheerful and friendly Japanese female guide who taught us everything with great care. I was also very satisfied to encounter sea turtles! It seems that the guide also offers scuba diving tours, so I would definitely like to request her for my next visit.

初めてのハワイツアーで最初は不安でしたが、まずガイドさんが本当にいい人で最高でした。日本人の明るく気さくな女性ガイドさんで一から丁寧に教えてもらえました☆
海亀にも出会えて大満足でした☆
ガイドさんはスキューバダイビングのガイドもしていただけるみたいなんで、次回は是非指名でお願いしたいです♪

In late November, the water temperature was a bit low, so I rented a wetsuit. Since it was morning, I think I wouldn't have enjoyed it if I hadn't worn one (^_^;) The guide, who spoke fluent Japanese, and the other staff members were all bright and friendly.

After heading out to sea for a while, we were able to encounter a lot of dolphins right away! We watched quietly without making any noise to avoid startling them. There was a briefing beforehand about the precautions when encountering dolphins and turtles. I thought it was wonderful that they showed consideration for the wildlife. We also saw about 3 or 4 turtles and around 4 rays. Plus, we even saw a double rainbow!ヽ(^0^)ﾉ

After that, we played on the slide from the boat and kayaked, then enjoyed hamburgers to wrap up the tour. I was just a bit hungry, so it was appreciated. Additionally, a group photo of everyone was sent via email, which I thought was a nice service.

The highlight of this tour is not just seeing dolphins from the boat, but being able to see wild dolphins up close! My first trip to Hawaii turned out to be a wonderful experience (*^o^*). I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

11月後半で、水温は少し低めなので、ウェットスーツをレンタルしました。朝ということもあり、しなかったら寒くて楽しめなかったと思います(^_^;)
流暢な日本語を話すガイドさんをはじめ、他のスタッフの方も明るく親切な方ばかりでした。

沖の方に出てしばらくするとすぐにたくさんのイルカに出会う事ができました！驚かさないよう、音をたてずにじーっと見ました。
事前に、イルカとカメに出会った時の注意事項の説明がありました。野生の生き物に対する配慮もあり、素晴らしい思いました。
そして、カメも3、4匹、エイも4匹ほど見ることが出来ました。あと、ダブルレインボーもヽ(^0^)ﾉ

その後、船からの滑り台やカヤックなどで遊んで、ハンバーガーをいただきツアー終了。ちょうど小腹がすいていたので有り難かったです。
あと、全員の集合写真がメールで送られてきていて、それも良いサービスだなと思いました。

船からイルカを見るのではなく、野生のイルカを間近に見れるのがこのツアーのポイントですね！
初ハワイ、素敵な旅行になりました(*^o^*)
友達にもすすめたいと思いました。

Perfect way to spend an afternoon in Waikiki! The Catamaran was fun by itself, but then snorkeling with the Turtles made it even that much better. When we decide to travel to Hawaii again, we will definitely do this trip again. Great value for the money.

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。

It was a windy day, so it was difficult to go out to the open sea, and we ended up snorkeling in the shallows. However, thanks to Mr. Dan's accurate guidance, we were able to see sea turtles about four times! Hanauma Bay has high transparency, and we were able to see many other fish as well, so I recommend this place for snorkeling!

風の強い日だったので、沖の方まで行くことが難しく浅瀬でのシュノーケリングになりましたが、ダン先生の的確なポイントでうみがめちゃんを4回くらい見ることができました！ハナウマ湾は透明度が高く、他にもたくさんのお魚が見れたので、シュノーケリング目的でしたらここをお勧めします！

I joined this tour dreaming of beautiful sandy beaches on my first trip to Hawaii. However, due to strong winds, slightly high waves, and high tide, we couldn't see the sandbar at all. While I understand that the strong winds and high waves, along with poor water clarity, are due to the weather, I wish they had announced the high tide in advance since that is something that can be known beforehand. I was imagining a beautiful sandy beach, so I was very disappointed.

初めてのハワイで素敵な砂浜を夢見てこのツアーに参加しました。しかし、風が強く、波も少し高く、満ち潮だった為サンドバーは全く見れませんでした。風が強く、波も高くなり、海の透明度が悪いのは天候なので仕方ありませんが、満ち潮は事前に分かることなのでアナウンスしてもらいたかったです。綺麗な砂浜を想像していたので、非常にガッカリしました。

Without a question this is a 5 star experience. This is one of those moments in life you will never forget and will probably want to do again. The staff is very friendly and experienced and they have great respect for the ocean and its creatures. They gave us a safety briefing and explained what to expect with the sharks and what not do, first thing we heard was "keep all the negative associations with sharks at the shore, go in with an open mind".
We got to swim around Sandbar & Galapagos sharks ranging from 5-10 feet, absolutely mind blowing. Some of them were curious and came close to us! It was a little scared first, but the guide kept us safe during the whole time. While we were enjoying that magical moment another crew member took great pictures of the encounter.
Absolutely a must-do activity if you are in Hawaii. I would love to go out with the Islandview Hawaii crew again!

What a great experience. They picked me and my son up at our hotel and drove maybe 15-20 minutes. very nice catamaran and they had all the gear we needed. The water was clear and we saw some turtles and fish. I would definitely do this again and my son loved it too!

The tour was great but just one thing; they don't have prescription boggles.

I was trying to buy or rent them,
but the website said there are a few of them and a person who called for a confirmation a day before the tour said the same thing, so I didn't bring them.
It turned out they don't carry them anymore.

That was kinda annoying.

I visited Maui for the first time and decided to choose the Trilogy tour to visit Lanai, which only has luxurious resorts and can only be accessed through excursions. I stayed near Lahaina on Maui Island partly because it made it easier to participate in this tour. The price was a bit steep, but the boat's facilities were good, and the timing for snacks and fruit drinks was great! The staff was very friendly and professional! During the cruise, we even encountered a pod of dolphins, which was very exciting on board.

The reconfirmation, gathering, and everything on the boat was in English, but since we were the only Asians on that trip, they were quite attentive to us. The private beach on Lanai had a good state of coral preservation, and snorkeling from the beach was quite good. I read experiences from previous visitors and asked beforehand to be notified so I wouldn't miss anything. The island tour included explanations about Lanai's industries and historical sites, which were well done (it was in English, so I couldn't catch all the details, but with a guidebook or smartphone, it was manageable). At the end, there was applause in the vehicle. The local town felt like something out of a Western, and it was at an elevation just slightly lower than Takao Mountain in Tokyo, making it feel like a small highland. Enjoying both the highland and the beach was a double treat.

When we returned from the town visit, we had an early dinner? Or a late lunch? It felt like a 3 PM dinner, and the BBQ only had chicken, which made me think it didn't quite match the tour price, but considering it as a late lunch, I was fully satisfied! Notably, the sunset during the return cruise was spectacular! The town of Lahaina bathed in the sunset, along with Iao Valley and Haleakalā Mountain, created the most gorgeous sunset.

　初めてマウイ島を訪れ、、豪華リゾートしか無いラナイ島は、エクスカーションで行くしかないなと、トリロジーのツアーを選択しました。今回マウイ島ステイを、ラハイナ近くにしましたのも、このツアーに参加しやすいからという理由もありました。お値段はちょっと張りましたが、船の設備は良いし、軽食やフルーツ飲み物のタイミングもGood！スッタフは、とてもフレンドリーで、プロフェッショナル！！行のクルーズでは、イルカの群れにも会え船内大興奮。
　リコンファームも集合も船内も全部英語だったけど、私たちの参加した回は、東洋人らしき人は私たちだけだったので、かなり気を付けていてくれました。
　ラナイ島のプライベート感覚のビーチで、サンゴの保存状態も良く、ビーチからのシュノーケリングとしてはかなり良かったです。前の方の体験談を読んで、聞き逃すといけないので事前に声をかけるよう頼んでおきました。島内観光は、ラナイ島の産業や歴史名所など、説明もばっちりで（英語なので、細かいところは聞き取れませんが、ガイドブックや、スマホがあれば、大丈夫）最後は車内で拍手が起きてました。ローカルな町は、西部劇に出てくるようで、標高が高尾山(東京の）よりちょっと低いくらいのところなので、ちょっとした高原です。高原とビーチ一粒で２度おいしい。タウンビジットから戻ると早めのデイナー？遅めの昼食？が３時デイナーと思うとBBQが、チキンだけだったので、ちょっとツアーの値段と見合わないかなとは思いましたが、遅めのランチと思えば充分満足！！特筆すべきは、帰りのクルーズのサンセット！！
夕焼けに染まるラハイナの町と、イアオ渓谷、ハレアカラ山最高のゴージャスサンセットでした。

I think this tour is quite affected by the weather. It was a day with heavy rain and strong winds, to the point where I wondered if such weather even occurs in Hawaii, but the tour went ahead. On the bus ride there, the intensity of the rain had everyone’s spirits low. Such days might be rare, but the water was cold, and the sandbar was submerged and not visible, making me feel like I wanted my money back. Additionally, the hamburgers being prepared on the boat were terrible for the price we paid.

このツアーは天気にかなり左右されると思います。ハワイでもこんな天気があるのかというぐらいに大雨で風の強い日でしたが、ツアーは決行されました。行きのバスの中はあまりの雨の強さに、参加者の皆さんのテンションも低めでした。こんな日は珍しいのかもしれませんが、水も冷たく、サンドバーも水の中に沈んで見えず、お金を返して欲しい気分になりました。またハンバーガーも船内で作っていてこの値段でこの食事？というぐらいに酷いものでした。
