キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧 水~土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能<フライト100分/英語パイロット/ワイコロアヘリポート>

It's a breathtaking view, but... 絶景だけど

Reviewed by: mipo

I hoped to be a Japanese pilot, but I ended up participating in an English tour without any mention of that. The scenery was wonderful, and I was moved, but since I was seated next to the pilot (the computer assigns seats based on weight), I kept seeing the pilot yawn, which made me nervous. When I asked, "Are you sleepy?" he replied, "No!" so I took his word for it. The first hour was over Kilauea, and the second hour was over Waipi'o Valley. There was a stop at Hilo Airport for a break. Anyway, I'm glad we arrived safely.

日本語パイロットを希望したのですが、全くそれに触れられることもなく、英語のツアー参加になりました。
素晴らしい景色で、感動しましたが、パイロットの方の横の席になったせいで(体重でコンピューターが、席を決めます)、パイロットのあくびが何度も目に入り、緊張しました。
「Are you sleepy~」と聞いたら、「No!」と言われたので、それを信じて乗っていました。
前半1時間は、キラウエア、後半1時間は、ワイピオ渓谷です。途中、ヒロ空港に立ち寄り休憩があります。
とにかく、無事に着いてよかった。

DVDs are not allowed. DVDは不可

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

You can purchase a DVD featuring the scenery from the helicopter you boarded, but the picture quality (color reproduction) was poor, and the recorded date was completely wrong, which was very frustrating. It's disappointing, especially since the actual scenery was beautiful.

搭乗したヘリコプターからの景色を写したDVDを購入できるのですが、画質(発色)が悪く、記録年月日も全く違うという非常に困ったものでした。

It's like heaven. 天国みたい

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The sandbar, having such a shallow sandy beach in the ocean... it felt so nice. The hamburger I had on the boat was also delicious. Both the sea turtle watching and snorkeling were fun; it felt like swimming inside an aquarium. I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

サンドバー、海の中にこんな浅瀬の砂浜があるなんて・・・とっても気持ち良かったです。船の中で食べたハンバーガーも美味しかったです。海亀ウオッチングもシュノーケリングも楽しかったです、まるで水族館の中に入って泳いでいる感覚です。またハワイに行く時はぜひ参加したいです。

野生のマンタ シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/軽食付き>

It was certainly amazing. 確かに凄かった

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

As rumored, the power of seeing a manta up close was incredible.

One thing to note is to not forget your motion sickness medication. You might get seasick.

One point of concern is that for the first 30 minutes or so, you cruise around the bay before starting to prepare to see the mantas. It's unclear whether you're waiting in line because of many competing companies or for some other reason, but cruising around the bay at sunset was not interesting at all...

噂どおり、間近で見るマンタの迫力は凄い迫力でした。

注意点としては、酔い止めを忘れない事。
多分船酔いします。

気になった点として、最初の30分ぐらいは湾内を船で周回(クルーズ?)してからマンタを見る準備をはじめます。
競合他社が多い為に順番待ちをしているのか、何なのか不明ですが、陽が沈んだ湾内をクルーズしても何も面白くありませんでした…。

Reply from activity provider

Thank you for participating in the night snorkeling with manta rays. We are delighted to hear that you were able to see wild mantas up close.

Regarding your feedback about the first 30 minutes of the cruise, we confirmed with the operating company that this time is typically used for explanations and changing clothes. Additionally, when anchoring the boat in the sea, we take into account the sea conditions and the state of the coral reefs, so please understand that it may take a bit longer depending on the day's circumstances.

We look forward to serving you again.

この度は、マンタと泳ぐナイト・シュノーケリングにご参加いただき有難うございます。
野生のマンタを間近でご覧いただけたようで、嬉しく思っております。

なお、ご指摘いただいておりますクルーズ最初の30分間につきましては、催行会社に確認をとったところ、最初の30分間は通常説明を行ったり着替える時間となっているとのことでした。また海で船を停泊する際に、海の状況やサンゴ礁の状態を考慮しながら対応しておりますので、その日の状況により多少時間がかかってしまう場合もありますことご了承ください。

またのご利用心よりお待ちしております。

I was able to swim with wild dolphins. 野生イルカと泳げました

Reviewed by: hazuki

I heard that you can swim with dolphins, but I was not expecting to be able to swim so close to them, which was truly moving.

I think the small number of participants is also an appeal of this tour. If you're lucky, you might even swim with manta rays. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any manta rays, but we were completely satisfied with just the dolphins.

For those meeting on-site, the meeting location is a bit hard to find, so it's important to confirm it.

イルカと泳げると聞いてましたが、こんなに近くで泳げると思ってませんでしたので感動しました。

参加人数が少ないのも、こちらのツアーの魅力だと思います。運が良ければマンタとも泳げるそうです。私達は残念ながらマンタに会えませんでしたが、イルカだけで大満足でした。

現地集合する方は、集合場所が少し分かりづらいので要確認です。

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>

I was moved! 感動しました!

Reviewed by: happinkie

I've been to Hawaii many times, but I hesitated about the sandbar because I heard it can be heavily influenced by the weather. However, I always thought I should try it someday, so I decided to give it a shot. I wanted to make sure I could walk on the sandbar, so I chose a day when the tide would be close to zero during low tide. After that, it was up to the weather, but on the day of the trip, we were blessed with clear skies and encountered stunning views. The staff even said, "Today is super lucky!" The contrast between the white sandbar and the deep blue water was striking and beautiful. Walking in the middle of the ocean felt truly surreal. The staff acted as our photographer, giving us poses to strike, and we were able to take wonderful family photos.

After that, it was snorkeling time, and my husband and daughter participated. I took some time to explore the sandbar before returning to the boat to watch the snorkeling. It seemed quite deep, but they had a lot of fun seeing many fish. They mentioned that they would have liked a bit more time. The morning tour has a shorter duration, so that's understandable. We enjoyed our sandwiches and drinks leisurely, and there was no wasted time, which made us very satisfied. The staff were always energetic and kept the atmosphere lively. They promptly pointed out where the sea turtles were, so we were able to see quite a few. Everything was packed into a short amount of time, and both my husband and daughter were extremely happy. They even thanked me, saying, "Thanks, Mom!" I definitely want to participate again next time.

ハワイには何度も行っていますが、サンドバーは天候にかなり左右される…と聞いていたので躊躇していました。でも、いつかは…と思っていたので初挑戦。天候は仕方ないとしてもサンドバーはしっかり歩きたいと思い、干潮時の潮位が0に近い時間帯に当たる日を選びました。後は天候次第でしたが、当日は本当に晴天で、素晴らしい景色に出合えました。スタッフの方も今日は超ラッキーですよ~と!白いサンドバーから深いブルーへのコントラストもはっきりとしていて見事でした。海の真ん中を歩いてるのは本当に不思議な気分。スタッフの方がカメラマンをして下さり、ポーズも指示して頂いて、素敵な家族写真が撮れました。その後シュノーケリングタイムで、主人と娘が参加。私はしばしサンドバーを散策?して船に戻り、シュノーケリングを見学。かなり深かったようですが、魚もたくさん見られて楽しかったそうです。本人たちは、もう少し時間が長くてもいいかなぁと。午前中のコースはツアー自体の時間が短いので仕方ありませんね。サンドウィッチと飲み物をゆっくり頂いて、無駄な時間がなく、とても満足でした。スタッフの方は常に元気で盛り上げてくれました。海がめのいる場所も即座に教えて下さるので、結構見る事が出来ました。短い時間の中で凝縮されていて、主人も娘も大満足。ママありがとう~と感謝されてしまいました。次回もまた是非参加したいと思います。

It was fun. 楽しかったです。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

This is our second time participating as a family, and we had a great time. At the sandbar, the timing of low tide doesn't always align perfectly, so the water level can reach up to our knees. Standing there and looking around gives you a strange feeling as if you're in the middle of the ocean. If you have small children, not being able to snorkel might reduce the fun a bit. Turtles can be seen everywhere. I wish it were a bit cheaper for the kids...

今回家族で2回目の参加ですがとても楽しめました。
サンドバーではなかなかうまいタイミングで干潮にならないのでひざぐらいまでは海面があります。
あそこにたって周りを見渡すと海の真中にいるので不思議な感じになります。
小さいお子さんがいるとシュノーケルができないと楽しさが半減するかもしれません。
亀はいたるところで見れます。子どもがもう少し安いをいいのですが・・・。

I thoroughly enjoyed it. 満喫しました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

There were other dolphin tours available, but the limited number of participants was a deciding factor for me. The staff were very accommodating, which made me feel secure participating in the tour. There was one child who joined with their mother, and I appreciated how well the staff interacted with the child.

I was able to see many dolphins up close (the staff were shouting from the boat, directing us to look this way and that. It's surprising how you might miss them even when you're right next to them), and it was a very enjoyable tour. I will definitely participate again when I visit the Big Island.

The staff seemed to almost forget to collect the fees from the participants on the day, so that might be why there were no snacks provided. However, we did receive juice. Well, that's not something I was primarily expecting, so it wasn't a problem at all, but I wanted to mention it for future reference.

I had a great time. Thank you very much.

他にもイルカのツアーはありましたが、定員の数が少ないというのも決め手でした。スタッフのみなさんの対応も大変よくて安心してツアーに参加できました。ひとり、お子さんがお母さんと参加していましたが、そのお子さんに対するスタッフさんの対応も気持ちがよくて私は好きでした。

たくさんのイルカを間近でみることができ(スタッフさんも海の中、船の上からこっち、あっち~と叫んでくださいます。そばにいても意外と気づかなかったりするものなんですね)とても楽しいツアーでした。ハワイ島に行ったらまたぜひ参加します。

当日参加の方の代金の回収すら忘れちゃいそうになってるスタッフさんだったのでその延長かもしれませんが、スナックはありませんでしたね。ジュースはいただきましたけれど。まあ、そこはメインで期待している部分ではないので全然問題ないですが一応記載事項でしたので今後のためにも書いておきます。

楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ スヌーバ体験付きプランあり<英語ガイド/朝・昼食>

Very... good. とっても・・・Good

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was able to walk in the beautiful sea around Molokini Island. There were about four types of fish, but their beautiful colors captivated me. Near the coast, about 30 minutes away from Molokini Island, I heard there are sea turtles, so I went full throttle... There they were (+。+) Oh no, there were five turtles resting on the ocean floor. The depth was about 10 meters, I think? One of them, for some reason, started coming towards me... I remembered the staff's advice not to touch them... but I wasn't trying to touch it... (^o^)/ As it kept getting closer, I managed to take a close-up photo of the turtle. Thank you, turtle.

The staff were very cheerful and responded quickly and accurately. However, their English was a bit fast, and I had to really concentrate to understand... But they were very kind. It was a very satisfying tour, and the thrilling cruising was the best!

One last thing, the cruiser sways quite a bit while anchored. It might be better to take motion sickness medication beforehand... Americans seem to have very tough stomachs. As for Japanese people?? I noticed that we are quite sensitive to such things.

モロキニ島のとても綺麗な海の中を散歩できました。
魚の種類は4種類ぐらいでしたが、綺麗なカラーでついつい見とれてしまいました。
モロキニ島から、ちょっと30分程度離れた海岸近くには、ウミガメがいるとのことで、そこまでフルスロットル・・・・
いた、いた(+。+)アチャー。カメさんが5匹も・・・海の底で休んでいます。そう深さは10m程度か?
そのうちの一匹が何を思ったのか・・・こっちに向かって来るではないですか・・・さわってはいけないとのStuffの話・・・いやいやさわりたいんじゃないんだけれどもね・・・ヘ(^o^)/・・どんどん近づいて来るので、アップを一枚撮らせてもらいました。カメさん。ありがとう

Stuffのみなさんの明るいことヘ(^o^)/対応も素早く、的確でした。でも、ENGLISHはちょっと早口で、理解するのに頭をフルに使わないと・・・でもでもとても親切でした。
とても満足のできるツアーでした。そして迫力のあるクルージングは最高!

最後に一言、クルーザーは停泊中はかなりゆれます。乗り物酔い止めの薬を飲んでいった方が幸せかも・・・
アメリカの人々のstomachはとってもタフです。日本人は??けっこう繊細なことにも気が付きました。

The BBQ hamburger is the best! BBQハンバーガー最高!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated in a tour with lunch as a family. The air conditioning in the car was quite strong. We were divided into a cruiser and a smaller boat, and we were on the smaller boat. While it may not have been as stylish, it was nice to be surrounded by families with small children, creating a homely atmosphere.

We saw plenty of sea turtles, and at the sandbar, the staff helped with taking photos and even got everyone involved in beach volleyball. The snorkeling lasted about 30 to 40 minutes, and they constantly reminded us from the boat to be careful as "the coral can cut your feet."

The BBQ hamburger for lunch was exceptionally delicious, and we appreciated the prompt drink service as soon as we boarded, as well as the warm drinks after snorkeling (it was quite windy and cold that day).

While it does depend on the weather, I think it's worth going at least once.

ランチ付のツアーに家族で参加しました。
行きの車中はクーラーがかなりきいてました。
船はクルザーと小さめのボートに分かれて乗りましたが私たちは小さめの船でした。かっこよさでは劣りますが家族連ればかりで小さなお子さんたちもいてアットホームな感じでこちらで良かったと思いました。
ウミガメもたくさん見れたし、サンドバーではスタッフの方が撮影に協力してくれたりビーチバレーをして盛り上げてくれました。シュノーケリングは30~40分ほどあり「珊瑚の上は足が切れるので気をつけてくださ~い」と常に船上から声かけしてくれてました。
ランチのBBQハンバーガーは絶妙に美味しく乗船してすぐにドリンクのサービスやシュノーケリング後の温かいドリンク(この日は風が強く寒かった)の心遣いも嬉しかったです。
お天気に左右されますが1度は行ってみても良いと思います。

Turtle Town & Molokini Snorkel Tour with Breakfast & Lunch - Aloha Blue Charters

Nice Trip/Good Snorkling

Reviewed by: George

A very nice ride from the marina to Molokini. I liked the intimacy of the small boat compared to having too many people on your trip on the larger boats that filled the area.

We have 3 families of 4 and the crew. Nice size to get the most out of the trip.

You could do some fishing along the way if you wish (on the way back, they caught a huge Mahi Mahi fish). You get a continental style breakfast on the way out.

You see some amazing things in crystal clear waters at Molokini.

We did go to Turtle Town. My wife had a close up encounter with a turtle on his way to the surface for air. She thought it was great.

A nice lunch on the way back which included burgers and sandwiches.

A good day for everyone on our trip.

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Uncomfortable ride!!!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Positives of this tour are it's location right outside the Outrigger Reef, the water was warm and saw quite a few turtles dolphins and fish, and overall good value for money.
The staff were just ok, nothing special. No commentary on anything except a few minutes on the rules and how to snorkel. The big negative for us was how uncomfortable the ride was on the catamaran for almost the entire time on the boat. We wanted to sit on the bench seats provided, but was told we would have to all sit on or around the netting area to help balance the boat. For my wife and I this became extremely uncomfortable after a short while, with no cushions or anything like that provided to make it somewhat comfortable. It ruined the cruise for us. Next time we will book a tour on a bigger boat that provides seating for it's guests.

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>

Close to the sea! 海を間近に!

Reviewed by: kenchan

It was a lot of fun to enjoy multiple activities on one optional tour. We had plenty of time for banana boating, dolphin watching, exploring historical sites, and snorkeling among coral and many fish, which left us very satisfied. Although there were no whales in August, many dolphins came close to the boat, making it feel like we could touch them. There were quite a few baby dolphins as well. We were the only Japanese people there, but there was a staff member named GEN who understood a bit of Japanese, so explanations about the caves were fine. Before departure, they provided us with a Japanese guidebook at the office, which helped us understand even though we aren't very good at English. It was surprising that even those who couldn't swim were able to snorkel with the staff's guidance. On the way out, we relaxed in the back seats of the boat, but on the return trip, for some reason, we ended up in the very front, speeding over the waves, which caused a lot of jolting and a roller coaster-like up-and-down motion that was tough on the back. My arms were exhausted from gripping the rope tightly. Everyone was cheering and having a great time. I had muscle soreness for a couple of days, but I want to go again to see the beautiful sea.

一つのオプショナルツアーで複数のアクティビティを満喫できるとてもたのしいものでした。バナナボート的、イルカウォッチング、旧跡めぐり的、珊瑚や多くの魚がいる素潜りなどそれぞれがたっぷりと時間とってくれて大満足でした。8月で鯨はいませんでしたが触れそうな感じにボートにたくさんのイルカが寄ってきます。赤ん坊連れのイルカもかなりいました。日本人は私たち夫婦だけでしたが、日本語が少し分かるスタッフGENちゃんがいたので洞窟等の説明も大丈夫でした。出発前に日本語の解説書をオフィスでくれましたので英語の得意でない私たちでも理解できました。泳げない人でもスタッフの指導でシュノーケリングできるようになったのはびっくりでした。ボートも行きは後ろの席でのんびりと、帰りは何故か一番前になって波の上を高速で行くもんだからガンガンと衝撃がキツいのとジェットコースターみたいな大きな上下動で腰にきます。腕もロープを必死でにぎるのでヘロヘロになった。みんなで声を出して大はしゃぎでした。二・三日筋肉痛でしたがまた行きたい、綺麗な海を見に。

ラナイ島 シュノーケリングクルーズ  <1日2便/食事&アルコール2杯付き>

Having the beach on a remote island all to myself. 離島のビーチを独り占め

Reviewed by: ソロイモンガラ

We participated as a family of four.

It was a morning sunrise tour.

We drove to the Lahaina Harbor parking lot with a rental car. Even though it was early in the morning, there were staff present, and when we mentioned the Trilogy tour, we were able to park for $10 for the day.

Participants came from Canada, the United States, and South Korea, and there were no Japanese participants. There was no Japanese-speaking guide.

The ride was comfortable with no waves or wind, just as the sun was rising. On the way, we passed near a large pod of dolphins that were swimming around. The dolphins played a game of chase with the boat. The classic cinnamon rolls were freshly made and warm, and they were delicious.

At Floppy Bay, there was still no one around around 9 AM. It felt like we had the place to ourselves. The bay had high waves at the shoreline, so we needed to wear fins a little offshore where the waves were calmer, which confused my 9-year-old a bit. We saw plenty of fish, and the coral preservation was good, with excellent water clarity. Since there were some waves, it seemed better to stay away from the shallows and rocky areas. We observed underwater at a depth of 2 to 3 meters in slightly deeper water. Since we had children with us, it was reassuring that a staff member from Trilogy sat on a surfboard nearby to monitor everyone's safety. Finally, when we were getting back onto the sandy beach, we had to rush up with the waves, or we might get pulled back out, but the tour captain helped pull the children up onto the shore.

The city tour didn’t have much to see. It was evident that many Japanese immigrants had once contributed to pineapple farming, and their struggles were palpable. There were photos of Japanese people and Japanese dolls in the museum.

Back at the harbor, the barbecue chicken was delicious. Unlike snorkeling from the boat, being on land meant we could enjoy lunch without getting seasick, which is one of the great things about this tour.

The return trip was supposed to follow the same route, but there were a few waves. The captain had advised everyone to take motion sickness medication for the return trip, saying it would be bumpy, so I took it and ended up feeling good and falling asleep.

This felt like a true resort tour, and I was very satisfied.

家族4人で参加しました。

朝のサンライズツアーでした。

ラハイナ港の駐車場まではレンタカーで行きました。早朝ですが係りの人がおり、トリロジーのツアーというと一日10ドルで駐車できます。

参加者はカナダ、アメリカ、韓国からで、日本人はいませんでした。日本語ガイドもつきません。

行きは波もなく、風もなく、ちょうど朝日が昇る時間で、快適でした。ラハイナの北岸を西へ回り込む途中、イルカが大群で生息している近くを通ります。イルカは船と追いかけっこをしてくれました。定番のシナモンロールも作り立てで温かく、おいしかったです。

フロポイ湾は9痔頃はまだ誰もいません。独占状態です。湾は波打ち際で波が高くなるので、波が立たない少し沖でフィンを履く必要があり、小さい子供(9歳)は少し戸惑いました。魚はたくさん見られます。サンゴの保存もよく、水の透明度も抜群です。やや波があるので、浅瀬や岩場には近寄らないほうがよさそうでした。やや深いところで水深2から3メートル下を観察しました。子供連れでもあり、近くに同行したトリロジーの方がサーフボードの上に座って皆の安全を監視してくれていたので安心でした。最後に、砂浜に上がるときも波とともに一気に駆け上がらないと、また沖に引き込まれそうになりますが、ツアーのキャプテンが子供の手を引っ張って上陸させてくれました。

市内ツアーは特に見るものもないです。かつて日本から移民が大勢パイナップル作りに加わっていたことがわかり苦労がしのばれました。資料館に日本人の写真、日本人形があります。

港に戻って、バーベキューのチキンはおいしかったです。船の上からのスノーケリングと違い、陸上ですので酔うこともなく昼食を満喫できるのがこのツアーの良いところです。

帰りはほぼ同じ航路のはずですが、波が少しでました。あらかじめキャプテンが帰りはrompyだからと、皆に酔い止めを勧めましたので服用したら、いい気持ちで寝てしまいました。

これぞリゾートのツアーという感じで大満足でした。

 とってもきれいで、楽しかったです。
 ご飯もなかなかおいしかったです。
とにかく日焼け覚悟で!!どんなに塗ってもやけます。
女性は、水着の上にTシャツきてました。彼は肩の日焼けで皮がむけていました。
防水カメラあると便利です。ツアーで写真1枚はとってくれます。確か20ドルくらい?だったかな。

Snuba Tours of Kauai | Small-Group Guided Beach SNUBA Diving Tour at Lawai Beach

A fun excursion

Reviewed by: tony

Fun! I went with my 15-year-old daughter, and neither of us had done Snuba before. The guides were wonderful-- interactive, informative, good-humored. I'd recommend going on a trip earlier in the day when the tides are gentler and there are generally more fish to see (we went at 1:30).

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 beautiful, but... きれいだけど・・・。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The sandbar that forms in the ocean was indeed beautiful. When the boat arrived at the sandbar, we first had a photo session, and the staff were very cooperative in taking pictures. This lasted about 20 minutes.

After that, we went snorkeling, but this time was less than five minutes. My child's mask didn't fit well, and I was a bit late to start, so we ended up finishing in just 2-3 minutes! This was far too short. I've done a lot of snorkeling before, but I've never experienced such a brief session.

To make matters worse, on the way back, the staff jokingly mentioned that tips would be appreciated. From my perspective, I thought we had already paid for the experience, including tips.

One reason for the short snorkeling time might be the delay with the pickup vehicle. In fact, the pickup car didn't arrive until about 15 minutes after the scheduled time. I wondered if someone was running late. Just as I was thinking of calling, the car arrived, but no one was inside. It seemed like it was just delayed. After about five minutes of riding, we were made to switch to another bus, which was eerily quiet. As I walked down the aisle to find an open seat at the back, someone said, "How long are you going to make us wait?!"

We had been waiting for 10 minutes before the scheduled time, yet it felt like we were the ones who were late. Now that I think about it, the bus was parked far away when we switched, which seemed like an attempt to hide the fact that they were late.

The ocean was mystical and beautiful, but honestly, I cannot recommend this experience. I'm sorry.

海の中にできる島サンドバー。確かに美しかったです。
ボートがサンドバーに到着すると、まず撮影タイム。スタッフの方も撮影に協力してくれます。そんな時間が20分ほど。
そしてそのあとシュノーケル。この時間なんと5分足らず。
子供のマスクがうまく調節できず、ちょっと出遅れた私は、2~3分で終了!!これはあまりにもひどすぎました。今までシュノーケルを散々してきましたが、こんな短時間は初めてです。
おまけに帰りは、スタッフが冗談ぽくではありますが、チップをいただければなんて。こちらから言わせれば、チップも込みで参加費払ってるんではっと思いました。
なんでこんなにシュノーケルが短いのか、原因の一つは送迎の車のせいかも??
実はお迎えの車、集合時間15分ぐらいすぎてもお迎えの車が来なかったんです。どこかで遅刻した人がいるのかな~。電話しようかな~とその時、車が来たのですが誰も乗っておらず。ただ単に遅れたたけのようです。5分ほど乗ったあと、別のバスに乗り換えさせられたのですが、そのなかはシーンとしており、一番後ろの開いている席に行こうとバスの通路を歩いていたら、「いつまでまたせんだよ」と言われ!!!
私たちは、集合時間の10分前から待っていたのに私たちが遅刻した雰囲気。そういえば乗り換える時も、バスから離れたところに止め。今考えると遅刻したのを隠すため?と思うような行動でした。
海は神秘的で美しかったですが、正直お勧めできません。
ごめんなさい。

3.5-Hour Na Pali Sunset Dinner Cruise with Open Bar on Holo Holo Catamaran

Kauai Sunset Cruise - Na Pali

Reviewed by: Peggy - World Traveler

This was one to remember.

We had a ball. The coast line scenery was breathtaking, just wonderful. Remarkable side of Kauai that you can not see any other way as there are no coastal roads on that side of the island. When you go on this trip you will see why.

This one I would recommend for sure.

Planning for this trip - you will want, flip flops (because you won't wear them on the boat so something light you can take off and leave in their storage locker), camera, sunglasses, and ready for a fun time. The boat is a catamaran and built perfect for this. The Captain and crew were awesome.

They serve dinner as per the tour and its a nice but very informal meal, sit where you can. So, if you are expecting 4 or 5 star and want to sit down and eat on china this you will not get that. But its fine food - teenagers loved it so you get the idea. They have a bar so just watch how much you drink becuase the ride can and does get bouncy.

Great guide. Very informative

カアナパリ沖 セーリング&シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事・アルコール2杯付き>

Surrounded by sea turtles and coral. ウミガメとサンゴに囲まれて

Reviewed by: ソロイモンガラ

We participated as a family of four. There were no Japanese people, including the staff, but the cheerful staff made it enjoyable without feeling alienated.

We went snorkeling in Honaunau Bay, and there was only one other boat in the spacious bay, allowing us to swim freely.

The water was very clear, and we enjoyed the corals and fish. We encountered a large number of sea turtles, almost six of them gathered together.

We changed spots and went snorkeling again, but at that location, there were fewer corals compared to the first spot, as it was rocky.

The waves on the way there and back were not too rough, and I didn't feel seasick at all.

I think more Japanese people should consider visiting.

家族4人で参加しました。スタッフを含め日本人はいませんでしたが、陽気なスタッフで、とくに疎外感を感じずに楽しめました。

ホノルア湾でスノーケリングをしましたが、湾にはもう一船いるだけで、広々した湾でのびのび泳ぎ回れました。

海の透明度は高く、サンゴ、魚は十分楽しめました。ウミガメの数は半端なく、6匹近くまとまって集まっているのに遭遇しました。

スポットを変えて、もう一度スノーケリングしましたが、そちらは岩場で、最初のスポットほどサンゴは見られませんでした。

行き帰りの波はそれほど荒くなく、まったく酔わずに済みました。

日本人がもっと訪れてもいいように思います。

モロキニ島シュノーケリングクルーズ <朝・昼食付/現地集合>

First time snorkeling. 初めてのスヌーバ

Reviewed by: ソロイモンガラ

I had gone snorkeling a few times before, but it was my first experience with snuba, and I enjoyed it.

I chose to meet at the location. The parking was easy to find, but there were many tours at the port, and I got a bit lost.

The wind was strong on the way from the port to Molokini Island, and the boat rocked quite a bit. Many people seemed to struggle with seasickness. My eldest daughter (12 years old) took motion sickness medication beforehand but still felt sick.

We started with scuba diving. The water was very clear, and the coral reef was the most beautiful I had seen compared to any other reef I had visited. There were many types of fish, and the kids forgot about their seasickness and had a great time.

After that, we did snuba. A Japanese guide explained everything, so my wife and kids, who are not good at English, felt comfortable doing snuba. The method was simple, and we quickly got used to the breathing technique and were able to dive deep.

After that, we changed spots and went snorkeling again in a sea with sea turtles.

The staff was cheerful and kind, and I highly recommend this tour.

スノーケリングは何度かしていましたが、スヌーバは初めてでしたが、楽しめました。

参加は現地集合としました。駐車場はわかりやすかったですが、港は多くのツアーがあり、少し迷いました。

港からモロキニ島までは風が強く船もかなり揺れました。かなりの人が船酔いでつらそうでした。長女(12歳)もあらかじめ酔い止めを飲んでいましたが酔いました。

最初にスキューバをしました。海水の透明度は高く、サンゴ礁もこれまで訪れたどのサンゴ礁よりもきれいでした。魚の種類も多く、子供たちもそれまでの船酔いを忘れて、楽しめました。

その後、スヌーバをしました。日本人のガイドさんが説明をしてくれたので、英語の不得意な妻や子供も安心してスヌーバができました。やり方は簡単で、すぐに呼吸法に慣れ深くまで潜れるようになりました。

その後、スポットを変えウミガメのいる海で再度スノーケリングをしました。

スタッフは明るく、親切で、お勧めのツアーです。

The weather was unfortunately bad on the day, so the photos turned out disappointing, but the staff's service was attentive and I had a great time! On the way to the sandbar, we moved slowly and were able to see sea turtles! The lunch we had on the boat was also very delicious, and above all, the staff were amazing!

I was able to see a sea turtle. ウミガメ見れました

Reviewed by: シャイン

Unfortunately, it rained all day, it was cold, and the sandbar didn't appear, so I felt like I just did some snorkeling and went back. Due to my lack of experience, I rated it three stars. However, there was one interesting staff member who worked hard to keep things lively, so I didn't get bored on the boat. I can imagine it would have been fun if it had been sunny, warm, and the sandbar had appeared.

不運な事に終日雨が降っており、寒く、サンドバーも現れず、
シュノーケルだけやって帰ったという感じでしたので、
体験不足により評価不能という事で星三つにしてます。
ただ、面白いスタッフが一人いて、一生懸命盛り上げてくれたおかげでボートの中で飽きる事はありませんでした。
晴れてて、暖かく、サンドバーが現れていたら楽しかったんだろうなぁ、とは想像します。
