I was already satisfied just to meet the dolphins, but I even got to see a manta ray. I was really lucky. During the summer vacation, about four families participated, and there were three Japanese staff members, which made me feel at ease. They were very attentive. I would like to participate again.
イルカに会えるだけで満足なのに、マンタにまで会えてしましました。本当にラッキーでした。夏休みの利用で4組ぐらいの家族が参加しましたが、スタッフも3人日本の方で安心で、至れりつくせりです。また参加したいと思います。

The difference from the seas I've dived in before is that there are fewer fish, but the encounter rate with sea turtles is very high. It became the best memory for my friend who dislikes fish. The boat rocked quite a bit, and many people got seasick, so it's better to take motion sickness medication. There was a Japanese female staff member who was very kind, making it a reassuring tour to participate in.
今まで潜った海と違うところは、魚は少ないけどウミガメ遭遇率は非常に高いというところです。
魚嫌いな友達には最高の想い出になりました。
船は結構揺れ船酔い続出してたので、酔い止めは飲んでかれた方が良いです。

We went to the Big Island for our honeymoon and participated in ocean rafting on August 31. The staff only spoke English, but they kindly provided Japanese explanations for us. Upon arriving, we were supposed to call "Captain Zodiac," the company organizing the tour, for confirmation, but our English skills made it difficult to convey what we wanted to say, which was a bit challenging. However, the staff on the other end of the phone continued to explain how to get to the meeting point with great effort, and we could feel their determination to help us, which was very kind.
On the day of the tour, a male boat driver and a female captain (who acted a bit like a pirate) boarded the boat together. I was surprised by how to get on the boat. We sat on the inflated edges of the rubber boat, and as we hit the waves, it rocked violently while speeding along. If you weren't focused, it felt like you could be thrown off. It was incredibly thrilling, and I kept shouting "Waaaaaaah!!!! Gyaaaaaah!!!!" (laughs). There were eight of us participating together: a couple in their 40s to 50s, two grandmothers in their 60s, a Japanese parent and child, and us.
When we arrived at our destination, we enjoyed snorkeling in a coral reef filled with tropical fish. However, it was just after daylight saving time ended, and the temperature wasn't very high, so I got cold while in the water. Although we had time to swim again after lunch, I decided not to because I couldn't stop shivering. It was a shame since the coral reef was beautiful. It seemed that the spot we visited had cold water flowing from the mountains.
After enjoying snorkeling, we returned while looking at the famous sights along the coast from the sea. On the way back, we also sped along and made sharp turns with the boat, which was a lot of fun. I highly recommend this tour!
新婚旅行でハワイ島に行き、8月31日にオーシャンラフティングに参加しました。
スタッフは英語onlyでしたが、日本人用に日本語の説明書きを用意してくれていて親切でした。
現地に到着してから、このツアーを企画している「キャプテンゾディアック号」に確認の電話をすることになっていたのですが、私たちの英語力ではなかなか言いたいことが伝わらず、ちょっと苦労しました。ですが、電話のむこうのスタッフの方が、集合場所までの行き方などを一生懸命説明し続けてくれて、「なんとかつたえてあげなきゃ!」という気持ちが伝わってきて、親切な対応でした。
当日は、ボートの運転手(男性)と、案内をしてくれるキャプテン(海賊のイメージでちょっと悪っぽい感じに振舞う女性)が一緒にボートに乗り込みました。驚いたのが、ボートの乗り方です。ゴムボートの周りの膨らみの部分に腰をかけた状態で、波にぶつかり大きく縦揺れしながら、猛スピードで進んで行くのです。集中していなければ体が投げ出されてしまいそういでした。とってもスリリングで、ずっと「ワーーーーー!!!!!!!!ギャーーーーーーーーー!!」と叫んでいました(笑)一緒に参加していたのは、40~50代くらいのご夫婦、60代くらいのおばあちゃん2人組、日本人の親子、私たちの8人でした。行き着いた先では、トロピカルフィッシュが泳ぐ珊瑚礁でシュノーケリングを楽しみました。ただ、この頃はちょうどサマータイムが終わったころであり、気温があまり高くなかったため、海に入っている間に体が冷えてしまって、お昼を食べてからもう一度泳げる時間があったのですが、体の震えがとまらず泳ぐのを断念しました。せっかくきれいな珊瑚礁だったのに残念でした。特にそのスポットは山からの地下水が流れ出ており、少し水が冷たいところだったみたいです。
シュノーケリングを楽しんだあとは、海岸沿いにある名所を沖から眺めながら帰るという内容でした。帰りも猛スピードを出したり、ボートを極端に傾けてターンをしたりと、楽しませてくれました。
このツアーはおすすめです!!

This excursion was fun, but staff at office was very rude. Acted like we were a burden to even help. Very short and snobby. Especially blonde lady. No one even smiled at us. I have never been on an excursion so unorganized and unfriendly. Our guide was nice enough, but no instructions for snorkeling. My sister had never snorkeled and he just gave us our masks and left us to snorkel on our own while he went spear fishing. As we were kayaking he got way ahead and never stopped and checked on the group. I was very disappointed. I have been on several excursions and the staff has always been wonderful, but not this one. I would NOT recommend this company to anyone!!!!!

I had been wanting to participate in a dolphin tour for a long time and did some research, but I decided to apply to Aloha Kona Tours for a couple of reasons: the small group size and the fact that they speak Japanese. Additionally, the numerous comments from past participants were decisive factors for me.
Participating in the tour was truly an amazing and moving experience. We were a couple not so young and complete beginners, but thanks to Mr. Nawata and staff member Tsuyako's thoughtful attention, we were able to enjoy snorkeling without any worries.
Of course, we got to see dolphins, and we even encountered a manta ray, which was incredibly moving. They made sure we could meet dolphins multiple times by getting the boat ahead of them, and we could even hear the dolphins' sounds and saw a mother and baby dolphin.
I am truly grateful to Mr. Nawata and Tsuyako, who were always smiling. It was a reassuring dolphin tour for beginners.

We participated as a family. Since it was about wild dolphins, we were able to see a family of dolphins shortly after the boat started moving. At the front of the boat, we could also see many flying fish several times.
I wanted to see the dolphins a bit closer, but since snorkeling was the main activity this time, we traveled for about an hour.
For breakfast (light snacks), we could freely make our own bread and fruit, and the burgers for lunch were also delicious, along with fresh potato salad and vegetables. Maui chips were available as snacks, which was nice.
We could always have warm drinks, and there were many options for cold drinks. We could also have alcohol for an additional fee.
On the day of the trip, we were the only Japanese people, but the staff kindly supported us, which made us feel at ease. They lent us prescription masks, and the facilities were well-equipped with showers, noodle and glass-bottomed boards to see below. The snorkeling spot had high visibility, and the waves were at a safe height, allowing us to swim comfortably even in deeper areas.
On the way back, we were also able to see a turtle, and we were very satisfied.
家族で参加しました。
野生のイルカということで、船が走り出してすぐにイルカの家族を見ることができました。船の先端では、たくさんのトビウオも飛ぶ姿も何度も見ることできます。
イルカを、もう少し近くで見たいところでしたが、今回はシュノ―ケリングがメインなのでしばらく一時間ほど移動しました。
朝食(軽食)のパンやフルーツ、昼食のバーガーも自分たちで自由に作ることができ、ポテトサラダや野菜も新鮮でおいしくいただけました。マウイチップスもスナックとしてあり良かったです。
また温かい飲み物は常時飲むことができ、冷たい飲み物の種類も多かったです。追加料金でお酒も飲むことができました。
当日、日本人は自分達だけでしたが、スタッフにやさしくサポートしてもらえたので安心でした。マスクも度付きのを貸出してもらい。ヌードルやグラスで下が見えるビート版等、シャワー完備と充実しておりました。シュノーケルのスポットは、透明度が高く、深くても安心して泳げる波の高さでした。
帰りにカメも見ることができ、とても満足しています。

I was thrilled to see not only dolphins but also manta rays! It was a truly unforgettable experience that I could never have in Japan, so I was very satisfied.
There were only two crew members, the captain and a guide, along with eight guests, which made for a more intimate atmosphere. I think it's great for those who dislike a noisy environment.
However, since it was my first time snorkeling, I panicked a bit when I jumped into the sea and swallowed quite a bit of seawater (laughs).
イルカだけじゃなくてマンタも見ることが出来て感激しました!日本では到底体験できない時間だったので大満足です。
船にはキャプテンとガイドの2名、お客さんの8名という少人数体制だったので、ワイワイガヤガヤした感じが嫌いな人は良いと思います。
ただ、シュノーケルは始めてだったので、最初に海に飛び込んだ時はかなり海水を飲んであせりました(笑)
Thank you for participating this time.
It was lucky that you were able to see manta rays, as they are not always guaranteed!
Our company aims for a small group, homey tour experience, so I'm glad it matched your expectations.
Please do come back for snorkeling again; we look forward to it.

This time we went to the Big Island, and visiting Kilauea and Mauna Kea was a must. I looked into what else there was to do and found out that you can swim with dolphins, so I joined this tour, which had great reviews compared to others.
It turned out to be a fantastic choice! First of all, the guide was really nice and amazing! The quality of a tour is definitely important, but the guide makes a huge difference!
The tour itself was filled with dolphins, and I was truly moved. I was surprised to see so many dolphins up close!
Apparently, the types of dolphins on the Big Island are different from those on Oahu, and they swim in large groups, which is why you can see this incredible sight.
I highly recommend it if you visit the Big Island!!
今回はハワイ島ということで、キラウエアとマウナケアは必須、他にどんなものがあるのかと探してみてイルカと泳げるということがわかり、他のツアーと比較しても評判の良かったコチラに参加。

ツアー内容もそこら辺イルカだらけで感動しました。
こんなにたくさんのイルカが、こんなに近くで見られるとは驚きでした!
なんでもハワイ島はイルカの種類が他のオアフ島なんかとも違うため、大きな群れで泳ぐのでこの光景が見られるそう。

I had been wanting to go for a long time, but this time I finally decided to participate. The reason I hadn't joined before was probably due to cost... I had been settling for cheaper Kailua Beach tours instead. However, after going this time, I was convinced that the price was worth it. The ocean was beautiful, and I saw several sea turtles; it truly was the best location. Our guide, Yukiko, was a fun and wonderful person, and I had an enjoyable half-day. Since I didn't go snorkeling, the half-day course was sufficient for me, but I recommend the lunch-inclusive course for those who want to fully enjoy snorkeling.
以前から行きたいとは思っていましたが今回思い切って参加しました。なぜ今まで参加しなかったかと言うと費用の問題かな・・・もっとお安いカイルアビーチツアーなどでお茶を濁していたと言うことです。然し今回行って見てこのお値段でも納得がいきました。海も綺麗だし海がめも何匹も見れたしやはり最高のロケーションでした。ガイドのゆきこさんも楽しい素敵な方でしたし楽しい半日を過ごせました。一緒に参加した私もシュノーケリングをしなかったため半日コースで十分でしたがシュノーケリングを存分に楽しみたい方はランチ付きのコースをお勧めします。

We participated with our family of four, including a 1.5-year-old child.

While the adults were captivated by the beautiful scenery, the children seemed to really enjoy snorkeling.

I participated in the morning tour with my wife. The entire guide was in English, but we received a Japanese notice sheet during check-in at the reception, which I think is almost the same as the verbal instructions given when boarding. As someone who struggles with English, I understood less than half, but reading the notice in advance helped me grasp the general idea. Just watching the beautiful coral reefs and colorful fish made me feel happy. On the way there, we even saw dolphins playing in the waves created by the boat. The food and drinks were more than enough to fill us up. There were many children present, so I believe people of all ages can enjoy this experience. There are also floaties available.
It seemed that most of the participants were travelers from the mainland United States, but there were a few other Japanese participants as well. However, I got the impression that the staff didn't engage much with the Japanese participants. Of course, it wasn't neglect; it might be due to the language barrier, leading to the impression that Japanese people are "hard to engage with." The staff properly offered equipment rentals and food and drink guidance, so it was reassuring, and I think it's perfectly fine to ask questions in broken English if you're unsure about something.
午前中のツアーに妻と参加しました。
すべて英語での案内ですが、受付でのチェックインの際に日本語の注意事項の用紙を渡されますので、乗船の際の口頭での内容とほぼ同じかと思います。英語が苦手な私は理解できたのは半分以下ですが事前に注意事項を読んでおけばなんとなく理解できます。綺麗なサンゴ礁にカラフルな魚を眺めているだけで幸せな気分でした。行きには船が作る並で遊ぶイルカも登場。食事や飲み物も充分お腹いっぱいになります。お子様もたくさんいらっしゃいましたし、老若男女が楽しめると思います。浮き輪もあります。
米国本土からの旅行者がほとんどのようでしたが、日本人参加者は他に数組いらっしゃいました。しかし、スタッフがあまり日本人に絡んでこない印象も。もちろん、放置ということでなくて、おそらく言葉の問題から日本人は「絡みにくい」という経験からの印象なのかもしれないですね。用具の貸し出しや飲食の案内などちゃんと声をかけてくれますので安心ですし、分からないことは遠慮なくカタコトで声をかければいいと思います。

After searching online for family-friendly activities on the Big Island, I decided to go with Aloha Kona Tours, which had great reviews. My son (7 years old) and daughter (9 years old) joined me, and the staff was always attentive. The kids were able to see a pod of dolphins right in front of them while holding onto floating rings.
Although they took breaks due to seasickness, the staff continued to check on them, which made the kids very happy. It was also great that all the staff were Japanese, allowing us to snorkel without any stress. I never imagined I would see so many dolphins jumping and spinning right in front of me; it was incredibly soothing.

At the end of August, my parents, my husband and I, and our two children (a fourth grader and a kindergartner) were taken care of. My kindergartner daughter is not good with water and cannot swim at all, but a kind Japanese staff member encouraged her gently, and she seemed to get motivated. She put on a mask and peeked into the sea for just a moment. She said the coral reef looked creepy and quickly came back up, but after a break, she wanted to go back in again. While I was in the water, the staff helped tie her hair and put on her mask, and she made another attempt.
They were very considerate of the children, and I think we were able to relax.
For lunch, we went to the neighboring boat to get our food, and they also offered us more fruit, which the kids happily ate. We even encountered a sea turtle, and we enjoyed a delicious hamburger lunch.
We had a very enjoyable time. Thank you very much.

I participated in the first tour of the morning, wondering what kind of place it would be as I boarded the boat and saw the sandy beach with knee-deep seawater. The energetic young lady's explanations were great, and I thought, "Are they contracted with the tour? Are they promoting it?" because so many sea turtles appeared, causing cheers all around! We walked and swam... A cool, dark-skinned young man also paid attention to safety, which made me, a first-time snorkeler, feel at ease. The warm tea and sandwiches, riding the bus back while still wet, is that the Hawaiian way? By the way, one of the young ladies who participated brought a "cross that absorbs moisture... bought at a sports store," and I thought, "That makes sense!"

The sandbar is likely more enjoyable on low tide, but it seems you can still have a decent time even when the land isn't exposed. When I went, there was just enough of a path left when we arrived, but by the time we left, the land was gone.
On the day I participated, there were about 100 people, but the area to play in is large, so it wasn't too bothersome. You won't have the ocean all to yourself, though.
The staff were kind, which was nice, but I wish they would refrain from smoking on the sandbar.
The turtles and snorkeling were pretty average; the main attraction is the sandbar.
I think it's enjoyable for elderly people and families as well.
サンドバーは、干潮の日のほうが楽しめるでしょうが、陸地が出ていない日でもそこそこ楽しめそうです。私の行ったときはついたときにギリギリ一本道が残っていて、帰る頃には陸地はなくなっていました。
私の参加した日は100人ぐらい人がいましたが、遊べる範囲は広いのでそんなに気にはなりませんでした。海を独り占め、って感じにはなりませんが。
スタッフの方は親切でよかったですが、サンドバーで煙草を吸うのだけはやめてほしかったです。
カメやシュノーケルはまあ普通、メインはサンドバーでしょう。
お年寄りや家族連れでも楽しめると思います。

I had high expectations, but maybe they were too high, so it was a bit off (laughs). It might be fun for families with small children.
とても期待していたのですが、
期待が大きすぎたのか、ちょっと外れたかな(笑)
小さいお子さんのいるファミリーなら楽しいのかもしれませんね。

It felt like a paradise at sea! Due to the tides, the water was about knee-deep, but we were blessed with beautiful weather and thoroughly enjoyed the stunning ocean! The staff were all very fun people, and even though it was just a light snack, it was enough to fill us up. We were also able to see several sea turtles!
天国の海という感じでした!
潮の満ち引きの関係で膝の下ぐらいの深さでしたが、天気に恵まれ美しい海を満喫する事が出来ました!
スタッフはとても楽しい人達ばかりで、軽食といってもしっかりお腹がいっぱいになりました。
ウミガメも何頭か見る事が出来ましたよ!

For those who have never scuba dived this is a good introduction. Water was a little choppy, but staff were great in explaining what you could and couldn't do and where you could and couldn't go. For those that suffer from sea sickness should definitely take something before going, but all in all a good 1/2 day tour to do

I was looking forward to the sandbar. After getting on the boat and listening to various instructions and explanations, we headed to the sandbar... It seemed to be a bit high tide, so the water was quite deep and initially cold, but we took some photos around the waist-deep area, and now that I'm back, I look at those pictures with nostalgia. During snorkeling, I was able to see many fish, as well as pufferfish and rays. The BBQ lunch was very delicious. The staff were all kind, and I made some wonderful memories.
楽しみにしていたサンドバー。船に乗り色々な注意、説明を聞いていざサンドバーへ・・・少し満ち潮だったらしく水は結構あり最初は寒く冷たかったですが、腰の辺の所で写真を撮っていただきその写真は帰ってきた今、懐かしい思いで見ています。シュノーケリングでは沢山の魚の他、ふぐ、エイなども見ることが出来ました。ランチのBBQはとても美味しかったです。スタッフの方々も皆親切で楽しい思い出が出来ました。

I was lucky to meet a sea turtle that brings good fortune and even got to take some photos!
On the way back, there were some issues with the boat, but the staff's response was great. Keep up the good work, positive Yukiko!
幸運を運ぶウミガメに会え、写真も撮れラッキー♪
帰りは船のトラブルもあったけど、スタッフの対応の良さ、そしてポジティブユキコちゃんこれからも頑張ってね。

It was super fun to see dolphins up close and swimming right in front of me. I was also able to see the dolphins jump. The turtles' relaxed nature made me feel a sense of calm that resonated with me.
イルカが間近に見れたり、目の前を泳いだりしてチョー楽しい。イルカのジャンプも見ることができました。カメののんびりさには自分と同じものを感じて癒されました。
