I participated in a tour called "Ocean Rafting & Lava Cave Adventure with Snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay" by Captain Zodiac.
Overview of the activity:
First, we boarded a rubber boat and headed out to sea. Despite being a lightweight rubber boat, it had two engines, so it was quite fast. The day was a bit windy with high waves, and we were told we might bounce around, but it was better than I had imagined. Shortly after setting off, we encountered a pod of dolphins. The dolphins, being curious, approached the boat and swam alongside us. We had time to take photos, and I managed to capture many pictures of the dolphins. As we continued, we encountered a whale next. Although the whale was cautious and we couldn't get too close, we were thrilled to see it breach!
At this point, I was already quite satisfied, but the boat continued to a calm cove where we enjoyed snorkeling. We had over an hour for snorkeling, which was fantastic. The water was clear, and there were plenty of corals, so we saw many tropical fish. After lunch, we returned to the port, and along the way, the guide showed us various sightseeing spots that could only be seen from the sea, including the site where the fire goddess Pele is said to have descended.
Positive points:
For the price, the activities were abundant, and I was very satisfied. Dolphin watching, whale watching, and snorkeling all in one tour is a great deal! The guides and the captain were very friendly, making for a fun time. The other passengers were also nice, which added to the enjoyment. Additionally, for water protection, they provided a large container for our mobile cameras. If you ask, they will take it out for you as many times as needed. They also kept our bags in a place where they wouldn't get wet, so there was no need to worry.
Negative points:
The tour is primarily in English. The guides and captain can speak a little Japanese, but since all the other passengers were English speakers, the main language was English. They can speak some basic Japanese, but communication might be difficult. My husband and I have studied abroad, so we had no issues with English, and we were very satisfied with the tour, but it might be tough for those who are not comfortable with English (I don't think this was mentioned on the website. Even if it was, it wasn't emphasized, so many might overlook it). Also, this tour is not suitable for those who get seasick. The boat is small, accommodating about ten people, so while it's fine when moving, it can sway a lot when stationary, which might be tough for those prone to seasickness. Taking motion sickness medication is essential.
Furthermore, although the tour title mentioned a lava cave adventure, we did not visit a lava cave. Also, since the boat has no roof, don't forget sunscreen and sunglasses. They provide an explanation at the beginning, but it's in English.
Overall, I am very satisfied. I recommend it for those who are okay with English (even if you don't understand everything, it's fine), but I cannot recommend it for those who absolutely need Japanese. Considering the price, it is a great value tour. I would definitely recommend this activity to my friends.
オーシャンラフティング&溶岩洞窟アドベンチャー ケアラケクア湾シュノーケル付き by キャプテン・ゾディアック号 と言うツアーに参加いたしました。
アクティビティーの概要。
先ずはゴムボートに乗って海に出ました。船体は軽いゴムボートなのにエンジンが二個付いてるのでスピードはかなり出ます。
当日は風が強めで波は高いので跳ねるかもと言われていましたが、想像してたよりは大丈夫でした。
船を走らせて直ぐにイルカの群れに遭遇しました。
イルカは好奇心旺盛なので船に近づいてくれて並走してくれました。
ゆっくりと写真を撮る時間を設けてもらえ沢山のイルカの写真を撮れました。
また、さらに船を走らせてると次はクジラに遭遇しました。
クジラは警戒心が強いのか近くで見ることはできませんでしたが、ブリーチを見ることができて迫力満点で興奮しました!
これの時点で、かなり満足していましたが、船はさらに走り、波の穏やかな入江に行きシュノーケリングを堪能しました。
時間も1時間以上取ってもらえたので大満足です。
水の透明度は良くて珊瑚もたくさんあるので熱帯魚も多く見れました。
その後昼食を取り港に戻ったのですが途中に岸壁にある火の女神ペレが降臨したという場所やその他沢山の海からしか見れない観光スポットを案内してくれました。
良かった点。
値段の割にアクティビティーが盛りだくさんで大満足です。
イルカウォッチング、ホエールウォッチング、シュノーケリング。
単発のツアーもありますがこの値段で全てを網羅できるのはお値打ちです!
またガイドさん、船長さんも凄く気さくな方で楽しい時間でした。また同船者もいい方ばかりでとても楽しかったです。
また、水対策として、携帯カメラは大きいタッパに入れてくれます。
必要な時に伝えれば何度でも出してくれます。バッグも水のかからない場所に置いてくれるので心配ないです。
悪かった点。
基本、英語のみのツアーです。ガイドさん、船長さんも若干日本語を話せますが同船者が皆英語なので基本英語です。片言、単語レベルで日本語を話してくれますがコミュニケーションはとれません。
私たち夫婦は留学経験もあるので英語は問題なく、ツアー自体は大満足ですが、英語が苦手な方は少し辛いかもしれません。(ホームページにも書かれてなかったと思います。書いてあったとしても全面に出てないので見逃す方が多いと思います。)
あと、船酔いをする人には向きません。ボートが10人乗りぐらいの小さなものなので走ってる間はいいのですが停泊中は大きく揺れるので船酔いのきつい人は辛いかもしれません。酔い止めは必須です。
あと、ツアータイトルに溶岩洞窟アドベンチャーとありましたが溶岩洞窟は行きませんでした。
また、船に屋根が無いので日焼け止めやサングラスセットもお忘れなく。
最初に説明はされますが英語です。
総合評価は大満足です。しかし、英語でも大丈夫(分からなくても気にしない)という方にはお勧めですが絶対日本語じゃなきゃだめという人にはお勧めできません。
それを差し引いても値段面を考慮するとお値打ちなツアーなのではないでしょうか。
私は友人に是非とも勧めたいアクティビティーです。

I had a great experience snorkeling at Hanama Bay! The tour guide, Dan was amazing. Although I had previous snorkel experience, the tour guide reviewed basic rules for snorkeling and I was given an opportunity to practice in shallow water. I really appreciated snorkeling beyond the reef because this is were I saw a turtle!

I was a little leary about swimming with Manta Rays at night in the ocean....but I knew I would regret not doing it. WHAT an experience!! The highlight of our trip. It was amazing to float on the water with those gigantic rays swimming literally inches from your body. I would highly recommend this to anyone!
Aloha Deb~ We are so happy you enjoyed your night out on the water on the manta ray tour! Safe travels, and we hope to see you back again with us here at Sea Paradise.

I participated with my wife and our middle school son, and we were extremely satisfied with the tour as we were able to see not only dolphins but also the whales we had dreamed of.
Since we were dealing with wild dolphins, we first had to search for them, but right after departing, we quickly spotted a pod of dolphins. Our excitement was palpable. Captain Nawata and Daisuke, who was in charge of snorkeling, accurately assessed the points and, following their signals, we entered the water to find an unexpected number of dolphins right in front of us. They didn’t forcefully approach the dolphins; instead, they read their movements and positioned the boat where the dolphins were likely to pass. We were able to see over 100 dolphins up close. At times, they swam joyfully just 1 or 2 meters away from us, which was an incredible experience.
This time of year is suitable for whale watching, and while searching for dolphins, we also got to see whales spouting quite close by. Whales are strictly protected, so we couldn’t approach them, but again, the professionals did a great job. We were able to see the whales up close. The highlight was hearing the sounds of the whales while snorkeling. It was such a lovely sound!
There seem to be similar tours available, but I’ve heard that some groups have poor manners, and on the day of our tour, the Coast Guard was conducting inspections. Aloha Kona Tours, the company we participated with, gave the impression of having a solid policy and experience in this regard, which made us feel very safe and able to enjoy ourselves.
However, my son had a tough time with seasickness. Fortunately, there were no other groups that day, so they were able to take breaks according to my son's condition, which helped him recover. I think it’s best for those who are prone to seasickness to take medication beforehand. My son looked quite uncomfortable, but he managed to hang in there until the end thanks to the sight of the dolphins and whales and the warm support from the staff.
We would definitely love to participate again.
妻と中二の息子と3人で参加しましたが、イルカだけでなく夢だったクジラも見ることができ、とにかく大満足のツアーでした。
相手は野生のイルカですので、まずどこにいるのかを探すことになりますが、出港直後すぐにイルカの群れを発見。期待がいやがおうにも盛り上がります。ツアーに同行してくれたキャプテンの縄田さん、シュノーケリングを担当するダイスケさんが的確にポイントを判断し、合図に合わせて海に入ると想像以上のイルカたちの群れが目の前に。決して無理やりイルカに近づくのではなく、彼らの動きを読んであらかじめ彼らが通ると思われる位置に船を止め、海に入ったところをイルカたちが通過していくのですが、やはりプロですね。合計100頭以上のイルカたちを間近に見ることができました。近い時は1、2mという距離まで近いところを楽しげに泳いでいくイルカたち、最高の経験でした。
この時期はホエールウオッチングに適した時期ということもあり、イルカを探す間にもかなり近くでクジラが潮を吹く姿が観れました。クジラも厳しく保護されていますので、こちらからクジラに近づくことはできないのですが、やはりプロですね。かなり近くでクジラを見ることができました。圧巻だったのはシュノーケリングの時にクジラの声が聞こえたことです。すごく愛おしい声でしたよ!
同じようなツアーは他にもあるようですがマナーが悪い団体もあるらしく、当日もCoast Guardが取り締まりを行っていました。今回参加したAloha kona Toursさんは、その点しっかりとしたポリシーと経験をお持ちという印象で、とても安心して楽しめました。
ただ、息子が船酔いで大変でした。今回は幸い他のグループがいなかったので、息子の状況に合わせて途中で休憩をとっていただけたので持ち直しましたが、酔いやすい方はやはり酔い止めを飲んでいかれた方がよいと思います。息子もかなり辛そうでしたが、イルカやクジラの姿とスタッフの方々の温かい対応で最後まで頑張ることができました。
また是非、参加させていただきます。
I apologize for the late response. Thank you for your kind words; I am truly honored. The whales have already started to return to Alaska, and they are hardly seen in the ocean now. You were lucky to come during the whale season. Hearing the sounds of whales in the ocean is a rare experience in everyday life in Japan. Next time, please be sure to bring some motion sickness medication, and we look forward to your visit again. Aloha.
遅いご返事となってしまい失礼しました。お褒めのお言葉を有難うございました。恐縮の思いです。クジラはもうアラスカへ帰り始めて海に出てもすっかり見かけなくなりました。
丁度、鯨のシーズンに来られてラッキーでしたね。 海の中で鯨の声を聞けることは日本の生活の中ではまずないでしょうから、貴重な経験をなさいましたね。
次回は、是非酔い止めをご用意の上、また遊びにいらして下さいね。スタッフ一同楽しみにしております。アロハ

Two years ago, I was so moved during my first participation that I wanted to meet the dolphins again, so this is my second time.
This time, they mentioned that the waves were rolling and the sea's transparency wasn't great, so if we could see the dolphins at all, it meant they were quite close. However... it was incredible! There were so many dolphins, and they were super close. They are just so cute... it was the best.
It seemed like the dolphins were enjoying themselves, as if they understood our guide, Daisuke. The photos he took of us from underwater turned out beautifully, and I was really touched.
Last time was in October, but this time in January, we also had the chance to see whales, and even though they were far away, we did spot some... Thank you to Captain Nawata for searching so hard for them.
I will definitely go back to be healed again. Of course, I will also go to see the manta rays.
2年前の初参加で感動して、またイルカちゃんに会いたくて2回目の参加です。
今回は、波がうねっているということで、海の透明度がいまいちなのでイルカちゃんの姿が少しでも見えたらかなり近くにいると思ってくださいね。ということでしたが・・・
とんでもない、めちゃめちゃ近くにたくさんのイルカちゃん。やっぱりかわい~・・・最高です。
ガイドのダイスケ君のことをわかっているようで、イルカちゃんも楽しんでいるようでしたよ。海の中からダイスケ君が撮ってくれた私たちの写真も素敵に撮れていて感動です。
前回は10月でしたが今回は1月でクジラちゃんに会うこともあるということで、遠くでしたがクジラちゃんの姿も・・・キャプテンの縄田さん一生懸命探してくださってありがとうございました。
また癒されに行きます。もちろんマンタちゃんにも会いに行きます。
Thank you for joining us for the second time. We are very happy to hear your comment, "It's so cute!" It really conveys your feelings. We have many repeat customers, with some participating up to eight times. We hope you will join us again. Each time, the conditions of the ocean and dolphins are different, so you probably won't get bored. (Daisuke's comment) We look forward to seeing you again. Aloha.

We wanted to do something fun and exciting in the water while visiting Maui. We chose this adventure after hearing some great things about this excursion. Let me tell you, it was really fun! Not only did we get to snorkel and relax on the boat, but we also got to whale watch. The food is okay, but you're going for the actual snorkeling! We saw many sea animals and had a great time. You can tell the people running the operation really love their jobs. They sincerely care about the passengers on board. One woman in particular was extremely inviting and personally approached me just to talk. Wonderful day!

I hesitated because the price was high, but I heard that if the volcanic activity is not active, I wouldn't be able to see a volcano erupting lava even if I took the time to walk there, so I chose to take a helicopter.
In fact, I was able to see the bubbling lava from above the crater.
In the ocean, I also saw a mother whale and her calf.
Flying through the valley of Waipi'o Valley in the helicopter was very mystical and wonderful. It was a unique experience that only a helicopter can provide, and I really enjoyed it.
値段が高いので迷いましたが、火山活動が活発ではなければ、時間をかけて歩いて見に行っても溶岩を噴火する火山を見られないと聞いてヘリコプターを選択しました。
実際火口を上から見て、ボコボコ湧き出る溶岩が見られました。
海では、鯨の親子も見えました。
ワイピオ渓谷の渓谷の谷間をヘリで縫うように飛んでくれて、とても神秘的で素晴らしかったです。ヘリコプターならではの体験ができ、とてもよかったです。

Although we received a notification that the meeting place had changed, our Wi-Fi router ran out of battery on the way, and we couldn't arrive on time. Feeling quite upset, we were lucky enough to meet a staff member who happened to be there after the boat had already departed, and they helped us rebook for the next day. We were not charged any fees and received kind assistance, which was a relief.
The next day, our group consisted of my husband and me, along with an American family of six, including elementary and middle school children. We set off together. The boat moved at quite a speed, jumping over the waves, and my husband, who easily gets seasick, didn't have time to feel nauseous (laughs). I think the distance was long. As someone who loves roller coasters, I found it exhilarating.
The waters of Kealakekua Bay were filled with beautiful tropical fish, and dolphins swam close by, which made for a very satisfying experience. We also had time to enjoy snacks and drinks on the boat, and the captain's light jokes created a friendly atmosphere. During this time, I was a bit worried about my husband's seasickness due to the boat's rocking, but fortunately, he didn't get sick.
On the way back, we visited various caves, but we didn't go inside; instead, we got close enough to see the rock faces and areas worn away by the waves. However, seeing the grandeur of the Big Island from the sea was exceptional, and I believe it was a wonderful experience.
集合場所が変更になった連絡をもらっていたものの、途中Wifiルーターの充電が切れ、迷って集合時間に到着できなかった私達・・。泣きが入る気分でいると、運よく船が出港後に、たまたま居たスタッフの方と出会えた為、翌日に再予約を入れてもらえることになりました。手数料も取られず、親切に対応してもらえて、助かりました。
翌日は、私達夫婦と、小学生と中学生位の子供のいるアメリカ人ファミリー計6人で乗り合って出港。かなりのスピードで海原をジャンピングしながら進む船に、船酔いしやすい主人も、酔う暇がない位(笑)距離も長かったと思います。ジェットコースターが大好きな私は、気持ち良かったです。
ケアラケクア湾の海は、きれいな熱帯魚があちこちに沢山いて、ちょうどイルカもすぐ近くまで泳いできたりと、大満足でした。船の上で、スナックやジュースを飲食する時間もありました。船長の軽いジョークになごやかな雰囲気。この時間の方が、船の揺れを感じて主人の船酔いを心配した感じです。(でも酔わずに済みました)
帰りはあちこちの洞窟?をまわってくれましたが、洞窟の中にはいるのではなく、目の前まで
いって岩肌や波で削られた場所を間近にみるというものでした・・。
でも、海側からみるハワイ島の雄大さも格別で、とても良い体験ができたと思っています。

Since it was close to a new moon, unfortunately, the sandbar had quite a bit of water depth, up to about my knees. I wasn't planning to snorkel, so I intended to keep my upper body dry, but the water depth at the entry point to the sandbar was about chest-high for me at 158 cm. My grandmother, who is shorter, seemed to have a bit of a hard time.
Lunch was wonderfully delicious. Also, the water in the sea was clear, and we were able to see turtles.
新月に近かったのでサンドバーは残念ながら水深がけっこうありました。膝くらいまで。私はシュノーケルするつもりがなかったので、上半身は濡れないつもりでいましたがサンドバーに入るポイントの水深は158cmの私で胸元までつかるぐらいありました。身長の低い祖母は少し大変そうでした。

December is indeed cold. I think it's a good idea to research various factors like the season and tide to see landscapes like the one in the sandbar photo. The snorkeling after the sandbar was incredibly beautiful. I've been to many places in Southeast Asia, but the snorkeling spots here are really great. Luckily, I encountered a sea turtle swimming right below me twice. However, it can be really cold in December if the weather is bad. There were also some participants in the tour who didn't go into the water.
12月はやはり寒いです。
またサンドバーの写真のような風景を見るためには季節や、潮位など色々調べた方がいいと思います。
サンドバー後のシュノーケルは、すごくキレイでした。今まで東南アジア等たくさん行ってきましたが、ここのシュノーケルポイントはすごくいいです。
運よくウミガメも私のすぐ下を泳いでいて2回も遭遇しました。
でも12月で天気が悪いと本当に寒いです。

The scenery was beautiful, and I was able to go snorkeling, plus the lunch was freshly made and delicious! However, the bus ride was extremely cold, and since we left early in the morning, I just wanted to sleep... I couldn't rest on the bus because the guide kept speaking in English, and when I dozed off during the boat ride, I was woken up. The return bus was also unusually cold (even though my body was wet), and I couldn't stand it, so I got off partway. I'm not sure if I would want to participate again...

I wanted to show my wife the snorkeling experience I had at Hanauma Bay during my single days, so I participated again.
We were able to rent wetsuits on-site for a fee. The goggles and snorkels provided were not the usual worn-out ones, but rather well-maintained equipment. Thanks to that, it was a very warm and comfortable ocean adventure. I highly recommend the wetsuits.
Last time I came, I just floated in the shallow waters, but this time, our guide and instructor, Chie, who is a certified diver, took us out to deeper waters. My wife hadn't swum in a while, but since she held my hand the whole time, she was able to keep up without any issues. The fish were adorable, and I was surprised when a turtle swam right past us!
Thank you for such a dreamlike experience.

In the ocean illuminated by LED lights, I had the incredible experience of witnessing a mystical manta ray dance up close, which made me forget the long hours and cold I had felt in the water until then. On the way to the manta point, we were unexpectedly surprised to see a mother and baby whale just a few dozen meters away, making for an unforgettable few hours, not to mention the beauty of the sunset.
All these experiences were thanks to Daisuke, our guide who knows the ecology of the waters around the Big Island, including the manta rays and whales, and the trust and cooperation with other tour guides. They know the names of all the mantas living around the Big Island (the one we encountered was named Eli) and can predict the whales' next actions. (By the way, in the U.S., it is prohibited to approach whales within 90 meters, and the same applies to whale watching, so it was truly lucky that they appeared within just a few dozen meters.)
While this is an everyday occurrence for Daisuke and the others, they understand that for us, it was a first-time, rare, once-in-a-lifetime experience, and they work hard to ensure we have an amazing time. Initially, I spotted a manta near the sea floor as soon as I entered the water, but then I couldn't see any for several minutes as we moved around. Thanks to Daisuke's determination to let us see another manta, we were eventually treated to a dreamlike scene. The sight of divers going deep, the LED lights they shone from below, the approximately 100 people floating in the night sea to see the mantas, and the fish swarming around the plankton right in front of us was nothing short of magical.
I thought $140 for a few hours of snorkeling was a bit much, but considering the costs of operating a boat (gasoline prices on the Big Island are 1.5 to 2 times higher than on the mainland) and the need for a boat operator (it was Taku), I believe the tour price is reasonable. For reference, we drove to the location, but the roads can get congested on weekday evenings, so I recommend allowing extra time. Also, it's a good idea to carefully check for signs and landmarks to find the meeting point.
It's best to minimize your belongings and not leave too much in the car, but be prepared for the cold during the 20-minute return to the port after coming out of the water (I was so cold that I couldn't stop shivering for a while). There are no showers after getting out, and changing is done in public restrooms. To capture the magical sights, it's a good idea to prepare a camera like a GoPro, but since you need to hold onto a surfboard with handles while moving in the water, it can be challenging to keep both hands free for photography, so I recommend it only for those who are experienced.
It seems there are few spots around the world where mantas can be easily seen. For us Japanese, the Big Island is one of the most accessible places after Ishigaki Island, so I highly recommend participating in a manta tour while in Hawaii.
LEDで照らされたオーシャンブルーの夜の海で、神秘的なマンタのダンスを手が届くほどのところで見ることができ、それまでの海の中で長く感じられた時間や寒さも吹き飛ぶほどの驚嘆の経験でした。
またマンタのポイントに行く途中で、思いがけずクジラの親子を数十メートル先に見られるという、サプライズもあり、夕陽の美しさも去ることながら、忘れ難い数時間となりました。
これらの経験も全て、ハワイ島の海やマンタ・クジラなどの生態を知り尽くしたDaisukeさんのガイド、他ツアーのガイドの方々との信頼・協力関係のお陰です。彼らはハワイ島周辺に住むマンタの名前(今回遭遇したのはイーライ)を全て知っていますし、クジラが次にどのような行動を取るかも知っています。
(ところで米国ではクジラに90m以内に近付くことが禁止されており、ホエールウォッチングでも同様で、偶然にも数十メートル以内に現れたのは本当にラッキーでした。)
Daisukeさん達にとっては毎日のことですが、我々にとっては初めて・滅多にない・一生に一度のことということをよく心得ていて、より素晴らしい経験をできるように懸命に努力してくださいます。最初は海に入ってすぐに一瞬、マンタを海底近くに見たのですが、その後数十分全く見られず、あちらこちに移動しました。それでも何とかもう一度マンタを見てもらいたい!という一心のDaisukeさんのお陰で、最後には夢のような光景を目にすることができました。また、ダイバー達が深くもぐる様子、彼らが下から照らすLEDの光、マンタを見るために夜の海に浮かんでいる100人程の人々、目の前でプランクトンに群がる魚の数々は幻想的の一言以外の何物でもありませんでした。
数時間のスノーケリングに$140かと思い、モニター特典を利用しましたが、船を出すこと(ハワイ島のガソリン代は米国本土の1.5~2倍です)、船の操縦士(Takuさんでした)も必要なこと等々考えると、納得のいくツアー代だと思います。
参考までに、我々は現地まで車で行きましたが、平日の夕方は道路が込むので、余裕を持って行くことをお勧めします。また集合地点に辿り着くのにも、看板や目印などをよく確認した方がいいです。
荷物はなるべく車に残さない方がいいので最小限にすべきですが、海から上がった後から港に戻るまで20分程の間、寒いこともある(寒くてしばらく震えが止まりませんでした)ので、羽織るタオルなどしっかり準備してください。あがってからシャワーはなく、着替えは公衆トイレとなります。
幻想的な光景をいつまでも残すにはGoProなどカメラを準備すると良いですが、海の中での移動にも終始、取っ手のついたサーフボードに捕まっていなければならず、両手でも捕まり続けることは大変なので、海の中での写真撮影は慣れている方のみお勧めします。
世界中でマンタが容易に見られるスポットは少ないようです。我々日本人にとっては、石垣島についで、ハワイ島が一番アクセスしやすい場所のようですので、ハワイ島ではぜひマンタツアーに参加してみてください。

The plan was to meet on-site, but I ended up arriving late. I was worried that "the boat had already departed and I might not be able to participate..." However, I was warmly welcomed and they quickly explained the tour to me. I truly felt sorry for the delay, and I was grateful for their flexible response.
The tour began, and we boarded the boat to the manta ray spot. The wind felt nice, and the swaying boat was like a theme park ride, which was fun. On the way to the spot, we even saw a whale up close, turning the manta tour into a whale watching experience. The instructor's explanations were also entertaining. We saw a mother and baby whale waving their fins and blowing water, which was already moving before we even met the mantas.
After moving to the manta spot, we waited in the water for the mantas to appear. We floated on large boogie boards, waiting for the mantas to come, attracted by the plankton gathered in the light. Not only mantas, but we also saw plenty of fish, so the waiting time wasn't boring at all. It felt like putting your face in an aquarium tank.
Finally, the mantas appeared, and the instructor pulled us close to them. The mantas swam gracefully, opening their mouths wide and turning while eating plankton, which was truly magical. We were able to see them from just 15 cm away, close enough to think, "We're almost going to bump into them!" The mantas were larger and more elegant than I had imagined, making it feel like a dream.
I wanted to watch them a bit longer, but we had to return to the boat because staying too long would make us cold. On the way back, it really got chilly, and I thought, "The instructor was right." I was shivering with my wet body, but I felt happy to have met the mantas and enjoyed the beautiful starry sky on the way back.
One of the reasons I went to the Big Island was to see mantas, and this tour did not disappoint. I highly recommend it.
現地集合のプランだったのですが、到着が遅れてしまったんです。「ボートは既に出航していて、もう参加できないかも。。。」と不安に思いながら現地に向かったのですが、温かく迎えてくださり、素早くツアーの説明をしてくださいました。本当に申し訳なく、そして、臨機応変の対応がありがたかったです。
ツアーが始まり、ボートに乗ってのマンタスポットへ。風も気持ち良く、揺れるボートは遊園地のアトラクションのようで楽しかったです。スポットへ行く途中に、すごく近くでクジラも見れ、マンタツアーがホエールウォチングと化していました。インストラクターの方のご説明も面白かったです。親子のクジラで、ひれを振ってくれたり、水しぶきを吹いたりしてくれて、マンタに会う前にも十分感動していました。
マンタスポットへ移動後、マンタが現れるのを待って海へ。ビート板の大きい判みたいな物に掴まってプカプカ浮かんで、光に集まったプランクトン目当てのマンタが来るのを待ちました。マンタだけでなく、お魚もいっぱい見れるので、待ち時間も退屈ではなかったです。例えるなら、水族館の水槽に顔をつける感じでしょうか。
いよいよ、マンタが現れ、インストラクターの方が近くまで引っ張って行ってくださいました。ヒラヒラと泳ぐマンタが、大きく口を開けて、一回転しながらプランクトンを食べていて、本当に幻想的でした。「もう少しでぶつかる!」と思うくらいの15cmの距離で見れたんです。想像以上にマンタは大きくて、優雅で、夢の中にいるような時間でした。
もう少し見ていたいくらいでしたが、あまり長い時間いると体が冷えてしまうとのことでボートへ戻り港へ帰ることに。途中、本当に寒くなってきてしまって、「インストラクターさん言う事は間違いないな」と関心しました。濡れた体で震えていましたが、マンタに会えた幸せな気持ちと奇麗な星空で、心は満足な帰路でした。
ハワイ島に行く目的の一つがマンタだったくらい期待していたツアーだったのですが、期待を裏切らない感動を与えてくれるものでした。お勧めします。

On January 9th, my friend and I participated in a Captain Zodiac tour. We were the only two Japanese among 16 foreigners, and I was anxious because I had heard there wouldn't be a Japanese guide. However, they provided a Japanese explanation sheet and spoke slowly, so we were able to participate without any issues.
We took a boat to Kealakekua Bay, and at first, I was scared because the boat was moving at such high speed that I felt like I might be thrown off. But gradually, it became fun. I had read in previous comments that the rafting wasn't very thrilling, but I found it quite exciting and enjoyable. Moreover, we were lucky enough to see a mother and baby whale and their tails along the way.
During snorkeling, the coral was incredibly beautiful, and the fish seemed accustomed to people, allowing us to observe them closely without fleeing. They allocated plenty of time for snorkeling, so after getting tired and taking a break on the boat, we could go back into the water and enjoy it at a leisurely pace. It wasn't a problem for us since we had experienced snorkeling the day before, but I felt a bit concerned that all the explanations were in English for first-timers. However, the captain was very kind and communicated a lot through gestures, so I think it would be okay.
For the cave experience, we approached the cave with the boat, and it felt more like an explanation about the cave rather than an exploration. But on the way back, we encountered a pod of dolphins and a sea turtle, which made the experience very satisfying.
I think this is an activity you can't experience in Japan, so I highly recommend participating if you come to the Big Island!
1月9日、友人と二人でキャプテンゾディアックのツアーに参加しました。外国人16人に対して日本人は私達2人で、しかも日本語ガイドはないと事前に聞いていて不安だったのですが、日本語の説明書を準備してくれていて、ゆっくりしゃべってくれたりしたので、問題なく参加できました。
ケアラケクア湾までボートで行ったのですが、すごいスピードで進むので、ボートから飛ばされそうで初めは怖かったですが、だんだん楽しくなりました。以前コメントに、ラフティングと書いてあるがそんなにスリルはなかったと書いてあったので、なめていたなと思うぐらいスリルがあり楽しかったです。しかも、途中で親子クジラの姿やその尾びれも見れてすごくラッキーでした。
シュノーケリングでは珊瑚がすごく綺麗で、魚も人に慣れているのか近くまで寄っても逃げず、じっくり観察できました。シュノーケリングの時間を多く取ってくれているので、疲れて一度ボートに上がって休憩した後、もう一度海に入ることができ、ゆっくり楽しめました。ただ私達は前日にシュノーケリングを経験していたので問題なかったですが、初めての人だと説明が全て英語なので、その点が少し不安かなと感じました。でもキャプテンがすごく優しく、色々と身振り手振りでしてくれるので、大丈夫な気もします。
洞窟体験では洞窟近くにボートに近づいて、洞窟について説明してくれるという感じだったので、洞窟探検かな?という印象でした。でも帰りにイルカの群れや海亀に会えて、大満足の内容でした。
日本では体験できないようなアクティビティだと思うので、ハワイ島に来たらぜひ参加することをお勧めします!

On January 8th, I participated with a friend. There were a total of six participants, including four foreigners and the two of us.
We traveled near Kona Airport to go to a spot to see night manta rays by boat. The boat sped quite fast from the harbor to the airport, which felt like an activity in itself and was fun. Along the way, we encountered a whale and were thrilled to see its tail.
When we arrived at the spot, we had to wait until it got completely dark for the plankton to gather, so we entered the water once it was dark. All the participants held onto a board with blue lights and floated to see the manta rays. My friend couldn’t swim, and since it was my first time swimming in the ocean at night, I was anxious, but the staff had two people with us on the boat, which made me feel safe.
Most importantly, the blue lights attracted a lot of plankton, so the manta rays came right up to us, making me forget my anxiety out of excitement. We were briefed beforehand not to touch the manta rays to avoid harming them, but they came so close that it felt impossible not to, and it was incredibly fun.
Since we went in January, it was quite cold when we got out of the water due to the wind, but I was very grateful that they prepared hot cocoa and cup noodles for us.
When it comes to sightseeing on the Big Island, people usually think of dolphin or whale watching, but I think night manta rays in the ocean are also a great option. I definitely want to participate again.
1月8日友人と二人で参加しました。参加者は外国人4人と私達2人の計6人でした。
舟でナイトマンタを見るスポットに行くためコナ空港近くまで行きました。ハーバーから空港に行くまではボートを結構なスピードで飛ばすので、それも一つのアクティビティみたいで楽しかったです。途中でクジラにも会えて、しかも尾びれを見ることができてとても興奮しました。スポットに着いても真っ暗にならないとプランクトンが集まらないためマンタも来ないということで、真っ暗になってから海に入りました。参加者全員でブルーライトの付いたボードにつかまり浮かぶようにしてマンタを見ました。
友人は泳げず、、私も初めて夜の海で泳ぐので不安だったのですが、スタッフはボートに二人着いていてくれたので安心しました。
何より、
ブルーライトにプランクトンがたくさん集まるので
マンタが目の前まで来るので、、興奮で不安な気持ちも忘れました。
事前にマンタを傷つけないようにマンタには触れないでという説明を受けたのですがそんなこと無理というくらい目の前まで来て、すごく楽しかったです。
行ったのが一月だったので、海から上がると風もありかなり寒かったですが、ホットココアとカップラーメンを準備してくれていてとてもありがたかったです。
ハワイ島の観光となるとイルカやクジラウォッチングかなと思いますが、夜の海でナイトマンタもいいかなと思います。是非また参加したいと思います。

Walking in the middle of the ocean was such a wonderfully mysterious experience, and I was very satisfied. I was able to snorkel in the best spot and saw sea turtles, beautiful corals, and lots of fish! I also had a great breakfast on the boat.
Since I participated in January, it was a bit cold. A rash guard is a must!
海の真ん中を歩けるなんて、とても不思議な素敵な体験ができ、大満足です。
シュノーケルもベストな場所でさせてもらい、ウミガメも綺麗なサンゴもたくさんのお魚も見れました!
船の上で朝食もたくさん食べれましたよ〜♡
1月に参加したので、ちょっと寒かったです。ラッシュガードは必須です!
Aloha! Thank you for joining the tour the other day. Those are such beautiful photos! Depending on the season and the day, the sandbar shows various expressions. Please come back to visit us again. We look forward to seeing you!

We participated as a couple. Since we had a rental car, we joined the local meeting plan. I mistakenly went to the wrong meeting place, but it seemed to be a common issue, and they came to check on us, so we arrived safely.
I usually get seasick easily, but for some reason, I was completely fine this time. Before swimming with the dolphins, we spotted whales two or three times, and one of those times, we were able to see them incredibly close.
We found the main group of dolphins! Everyone quickly got ready, and they were really close!! We could swim within reach of them, and we did so multiple times. There were participants who weren't great swimmers, but our guide, Daisuke, escorted them. Since we could swim relatively freely, those who were good at swimming could enjoy themselves.
It was truly a fun tour, and I felt like I could swim forever! Captain Nawata and guide Daisuke are both very knowledgeable about the ocean, whales, and dolphins. If I visit the Big Island again, I will definitely participate again.
夫婦2人で参加してきました。レンタカーがあったので、現地集合プランで参加。集合場所を間違っていましたが、よくあることのようでそこまで見に来ていただき無事到着できました。
すぐ船酔いする私ですが、このときはなぜかまったく平気でした。
イルカと泳ぐまでにも、クジラを2~3回見れ、そのうち1回はものすごく近くで見ることができました。
メインのイルカも群れで発見!すぐにみんなで準備をして、ほんとに間近!!
手を伸ばせば届く範囲で泳ぐことができました。それも何度も。
泳ぎの苦手な参加者の方もいらっしゃいましたが、ガイドのダイスケさんがエスコートしてくれます。ある程度自由に泳げるので、泳ぎの得意な方はそれぞれ泳げます。
ほんとに楽しいツアーでいくらでも泳いでいたい気持ちでいっぱいでした!
船長の縄田さん・ガイドのダイスケさんも海・クジラ・イルカちゃんを知り尽くしている方々です。
またハワイ島を訪れたら、必ず参加すると思います。
I usually get seasick, but I think I was okay this time because I was so absorbed in swimming with the dolphins. I'm glad I could see them up close. One of our mottos is to provide the closest and longest viewing experience, so please come visit us again. I look forward to reuniting with both of you. Aloha.
普段は船酔いするのに、今回大丈夫だったのは、イルカと泳ぐのに夢中になられたからだと思います。
間近でご覧頂けて良かったです。 どこよりも近く、どこよりも長くご覧頂くのをモットーの一つとしてやっておりますので、是非又
遊びにいらして下さい。 お二人との再会を楽しみにしております。 アロハ

This time, I went on my first trip to Hawaii. Before reaching the sandbar, I was able to beautifully confirm the presence of the honu (sea turtle) and saw many of them. Thanks to Yuki, one of the cruise staff, who accurately pointed out where the honu were... (laughs) Everyone was a wonderful cruise staff member. I actually had given up on snorkeling because I’m not a good swimmer, but one of the staff encouraged me, saying, "Don't worry! I couldn't do it at first either. You can do it!" That motivated me to give it a try. Because of that, I had a fantastic experience. Thank you. I'm sorry I forgot your name. Also, the captain was cool!!! He was a refreshing handsome guy. Next time I go to Hawaii, I want to participate again. Mahalo.

It was a tour that was kind to children and created lasting memories. It was cold, so we couldn't go into the sea, but we were able to see sea turtles, and the kids enjoyed the atmosphere and the snacks we received.

The sunrise tour on Maui was great, but honestly, there wasn't much else to do, and since there were no Japanese people around and my English isn't very good, I thought I probably wouldn't come back. I joined this tour on a whim the day before... I even booked it in the evening local time and printed out the voucher at the hotel. However, I was able to have various conversations with the guide, who was very considerate, and most importantly, I got to see sea turtles and many fish right in front of me, and I spotted whales multiple times during the trip... It was moving. And the lunch was delicious too.
