It was amazing! I was also grateful that the pilot happened to be Japanese. While flying in the sky, he provided a thorough guide. I ended up sharing the ride with a Canadian family, and we enjoyed the English guide while sharing our excitement together.
One issue I encountered was when I arrived at the hotel and needed to make a call, but the person on the other end only spoke English. Since I hardly understand English, I ended up asking for help from the Japanese desk at the hotel, which resolved the situation.
The price is high, but it is well worth the experience. I recommend this tour for both couples and families.
最高でした!たまたま操縦士の方が日本人だったことも,ありがたかったです。上空を飛んでいるときには丁寧なガイドをしてくださいました。カナダ人の家族と同乗することになりましたが,英語のガイドも楽しみつつ,みんなで感動を分かち合いました。
困った点としては,現地でホテルに着いたときに連絡をするのですが,その電話先の方が英語しかわからなかったことです。私も英語はほとんどわからないので,結局ホテルにある日本語デスクの方に協力をお願いして事なきを得ました。
値段は高いですが,この感動には十分見合った金額です。カップルでもファミリーでもおすすめのツアーです。

After an hour on a swaying boat, I arrived at the point while enjoying the interactions with the other participants and the beautiful blue sky and sea, despite being prone to seasickness. With the gentle and fun guidance of Koichiro and Michi, we had a great encounter with the dolphins, and there were moments when they swam alongside us. Experiencing the graceful and charming movements of the dolphins brought me immense happiness.

I read alot of reviews prior to booking, and this excursion sounded the best...and in my opinion it is! The crew were wonderful - very knowledgable, friendly and helpful. I felt in capable hands the whole time, having never snorkelled with dolphins before. It was awesome, and we weren't rushed at all. I am looking forward to getting the professional photos from Ali. I have wonderful memories of this day and will definitely recommend this experience to others. I am sure that if I return to Oahu, I will definitely do this trip again!

It felt a bit chilly, perhaps due to the overcast sky, and we only walked or waded in the shallow water. It would have been nice to have more time to swim, but we only circled around the boat for a short while. I heard there were sea turtles in the distance, but I couldn't see them. It's a shame because the staff were friendly and left a good impression.

Even though it was my first time snorkeling, I felt very reassured as they explained how to use the equipment. They also managed our valuables well, allowing us to go to the sea with peace of mind.
Since I can't swim, I ended up at the very back and couldn't hear any of the explanations, so my friend and I were the only ones who couldn't see the sea turtles.
シュノーケルが初めてでも道具の使い方から説明してくださってとても安心できました。

It was incredibly powerful. They come so close that they almost bump into you. They swoop right in front of you again and again! Four to five mantas came by repeatedly.
They come to eat the plankton gathered around the lights, and it was my first time consciously noticing the plankton itself, so it was very refreshing.
The meeting point is the office at the Kona Shopping Center. You check in there. There are no staff who speak Japanese. They didn't provide specific guidance on the wetsuits, but there was staff in the next room who lent them out. I participated in July, and I think it’s better to wear a wetsuit as the night sea can be a bit cold, especially for Japanese people who tend to feel cold more.
After borrowing the wetsuit, everyone moves to the harbor past the Sheraton. It’s easier if you have a rental car. If you ask the staff at the office, they can call a taxi for you. I considered taking a shuttle, but the timing didn’t work out.
Once we arrived at the harbor and boarded the boat, we enjoyed a cruise while watching the sunset, and when it got dark, we finally entered the sea to see the mantas. We held onto a pole and waited for the mantas to come to eat the plankton. After a while, one large manta, then two!! Four to five came by. We could see right into their mouths.
There are days when you might not see many, but we had mantas coming by repeatedly, and it was an impressive and wonderful experience. Everything was in English, but if you have courage, you can manage. It was just amazing.

This was my first time participating in Mr. Nawata's tour, but it was my second time on the dolphin tour in Hawaii Island. Since it was my second time, he tried to take us to a different northern point than last time, but unfortunately, we were informed that there were no dolphins in the north that day... so we moved back to the same southern area as before. However, I was really happy about his consideration.
During the first swim, dolphins were everywhere around me. No matter how many times I went in, there were dolphins all around. Dolphins to the right, dolphins to the left, dolphins in front, behind, and below. They even swam right in front of me on purpose, spinning around, and it felt like I jumped right into the pod! It was truly blissful to swim leisurely while looking into the dolphins' eyes. The ultimate healing experience. I also got to see manta rays swimming gracefully.
Such an exciting and fulfilling activity always feels fresh and brings new discoveries, no matter how many times you experience it. I am grateful for the great nature of Hawaii Island and for Mr. Nawata. Thank you very much.

I was generous with my stars considering our unseasonably bad weather day on the seas. This was certainly not any fault of the team, but be mindful that weather can play a factor in the enjoyment. Biggest negatives of the weather:
choppy seas prevent some of the potential exploration
cloudy skies prevents the sun from heating you up as you get wet/cold from splashing water
We're pretty adventurous and rugged so the weather only notched down the enjoyment 1 level, but one person got sea sick on our trip and I am sure their enjoyment was a ZERO.
Weather aside, a great way to see the wonders of the Napali Coast and of course do some snorkeling. My wife was a first time snorkeler and she had a great time swimming with the fish and TURTLEs. Sadly no dolphins during the dive but we saw some on the boat trip.
If you've done a tour of the coast, this is not the best time spent for snorkeling, but a great combination tour and snorkeling adventure...so good value for your precious

The main purpose of this trip was to meet the sea turtles while swimming. I was extremely excited when the guide took us to the sea turtle point and we encountered a turtle swimming right in front of us. I'm glad I participated with a guide. They spoke Japanese, paid attention to everyone, and provided various considerations, which made me feel safe. However, since Hanauma Bay has a lot of coral, while swimming, you might be very close to the coral, so I thought it would be safer to wear gloves. It was a very worthwhile tour, and I am satisfied. Thank you very much.
今回の一番の目的は、泳いでいる海亀に会う事でした。
ガイドさんが、海亀のポイントまで案内してくれて、すぐ目の前を泳ぐ海亀に遭遇した時は大興奮でした。

日本語も話せますし、全員に目が行き届き色々配慮されて安心でした。
ただハナウマ湾はサンゴが多いので、泳いでいるとサンゴスレスレだったりするので、手袋をした方が安心かなと思いました。

The explanation at the start of the snorkeling was much more thorough and interesting this time compared to two years ago when it was simply about putting on the mask and being tapped on the back by the successful participants. They said things like, "I can't tell if you can swim just by asking. Please don't stay completely still while watching the fish. You need to move a little. If you feel it's too much at any point, please let me know." The staff, who had previously seemed very enthusiastic, were serious when they said, "Please let me know before you think you can't do it. Once you put on the mask, I will check, so please swim to me using the breaststroke. Remember to breathe." It made me realize that a lot must have happened in the past two years. I can imagine the effort it takes to ensure many people can enjoy themselves safely.
Additionally, they explained that when we returned to shore, we should watch our step when getting off, as falling between the boat and the dock could lead to serious injuries... I thought there must have been someone who fell and got hurt. Lastly, before getting on the bus, the group of women went to the restroom, but there were only two toilets in the parking lot, so it took quite a while for the last ones to wait. I thought that for the next tour, they might add a note saying, "There are only two toilets available after the boat arrives, so please use the restroom on the boat."
It was clear that they are making efforts and coming up with ideas to ensure everyone enjoys the tour safely. To sum up, the sandbar was beautiful, we had a relaxing time, we saw sea turtles from the boat, and there were even little baby turtles swimming near the boat at the sandbar. We were able to snorkel, the staff were fun, and it was a fulfilling tour. I would love to participate again. Oh, and the freshly made malasadas were delicious!
シュノーケル開始時の説明について、前回(2年前)は簡単にマスクをつけて浮いていると合格者は背中をポンと触ってくれるというものでした。が今回は、事前説明がすごく充実していて面白かったです。「『私泳げるでしょうか?』と聞かれても分かりません。魚を夢中で見てピクリとも動かないのはやめてください。少しは動いてください。途中で無理と思ったら教えて下さい」とか、それからそれまではやるぞーて感じのスタッフが神妙な顔で「無理と思う前に教えてください。マスクを付けたら確認しますので、平泳ぎで僕の所まで来てください。呼吸をしてください」と真剣に確認していたこと。きっと、この2年間の間に色々なことがあったんだなあと思いました。多くの人を安全に楽しませるためには苦労が多いことと思います。追加すると、帰り、岸に着いたら足元を見て岸に降りるようにと、船と岸壁の間に落ちると結構な怪我をすると説明がありました・・・きっと落ちて怪我をした人がいたんだなあと・・。最後にバスに乗る前にトイレに女性軍団が行ったんですが、駐車場のトイレは2つしかないので最後の方を待つまでだいぶ時間がかかりました。それで思いました。次回のツアーの説明には「船が付いてからのトイレは2つしかないので、船でトイレに行っておいて下さい」というのが加わるのではと・・・。安全にツアーを楽しんでもらうために努力され工夫されていることがすごく分かるツアーでした。最後に、お昼からのツアーでBBQがついていました。骨付きのお肉がすごく美味しくて沢山おかわりしてしまいました。まとめますと、サンドバーはもちろんきれいで、ゆっくりのんびり時間をすごせたし、船の上から海がめも見れたし、サンドバーでは船の近くに小さい子亀も泳いでいたし、、シュノーケルも出来たし、スタッフの人は楽しかったし、充実したツアーでした。また参加したいと思いました。あ、出来立てほかほかマラサダも美味しかったです。

I participated in early December 2011. Unfortunately, I had joined a tour to see the lava in 2009, but due to the wind direction of the gas, I couldn't see the ocean entry. I thought about getting a revenge tour, but I was informed that there wasn't much volcanic activity and the ocean entry couldn't be seen, so I decided to join the helicopter tour to see it from above. This time, there was a bit of light rain, and I could only see the moving lava with the naked eye to a limited extent. I was able to see trees being consumed by the lava and flames rising, as well as lava flowing down the cliffs like a thin waterfall. I plan to get revenge during a time of more active activity. However, it was enjoyable to see the town of Kalapana, which had been swallowed by lava in the past, with houses starting to be built again, and the beautifully planted macadamia nut farms. It seems that the seating is determined by weight at check-in, and luckily, I was seated next to the pilot. On the way back to the airport, everyone enjoyed chatting, but I regretted not studying English conversation more. There were participants from various countries.
2011.12月初旬に参加しました。
あいにく2009に溶岩を見に行くツアーに参加しましたが、溶岩のオーシャンエンターがガスの風向きで見れず、リベンジをと思いましたが、火山活動があまりなくオーシャンエンターは見れないとのことで、ヘリで上から見てみたいと参加しました。今回も小雨混じりで動いている溶岩は肉眼で少し確認できた程度でした。生えている木が溶岩に呑まれて炎が上がっている様子や、細い滝のようにがけを流れている溶岩が見れました。 また活発な活動の際にリベンジです。 しかし上空から昔溶岩に飲み込まれた町カラパナにまた家がぽつぽつ建ちだしている様子や、壮大にきれいに植えられているマカダミアナッツ農場を見れたりと楽しかったです。受付時の体重で席は決められるようで、ラッキーなことにパイロットの並び席でした。空港に戻る際にはみんなで会話を楽しむかんじでしたが、もっと英会話べんきょうしとくべきだったといつもの後悔でした。いろんな国の方が参加されていました。

We participated as a couple with a 6-year-old child (kindergarten age).
We were able to see them properly! I think there were about 10 of them. It's definitely different from an aquarium! It’s magical, but some people might feel a bit scared because it’s quite dark.
We held onto a raft with downward-facing lights while waiting for the manta rays. You can float on your stomach with your feet on the float, so it’s easy and you don’t have to kick or tread water.
It seemed like they were coming closer to the brightest spot. Other tour rafts and divers were brighter, so they didn’t come too close, but we enjoyed it enough.
Since our child can’t swim yet, we used a jacket that we brought with us that inflates with air. They generally don’t use jackets, so if you need one, you should ask for it.
Also, it’s quite cold. Even people who usually handle the cold well were feeling chilly. Wearing two wetsuits keeps you warm, so it might be a good idea to ask if you can rent two when you get there.
I think it would be great to have a waterproof camera that can record video. For still images, you really need a big camera.
夫婦+6歳児(年長)での参加でした。
ちゃんと見られました!
10匹弱いたと思います。やっぱ水族館とは違いますよ!
幻想的ですが、真っ暗でちょっと恐怖感を感じる人もいるかもしれませんね。
下向きのライトが付いたイカダに掴まってマンタを待ちます。
うつ伏せで足をフローターに乗せて浮かんでいられるのでキックや立ち泳ぎすることもなく楽ちんです。
一番明るい場所に寄ってきているようでした。別のツアーイカダやダイバーの方が明るかったのであまり近くには来てくれませんでしたが十分楽しめました。
子供はまだ泳げないので持参した空気を入れて使うジャケットを装着して入りました。基本的にジャケットは使用しないようなので必要な方は言わないと出てこないと思います。
それとかなり寒いです。
寒さに強い印象の白人さんもかなり寒がってました。
ウエット二枚重ねると暖かいのでレンタルの時に二枚借りられるか聞いてみるといいかもしれません。

I highly recommend that anyone who has never tried snorkeling before take the plunge here. The staff will kindly and thoroughly teach you the basics of snorkeling.
Whether you can see turtles depends on the day, but on this day, turtles were swimming right next to the boat, which was amazing.
Thanks to the friendly staff, it was a very enjoyable cruise.

Swimming with dolphins has been a dream of mine for many years, perhaps influenced by the show "Flipper" I watched as a child.
I never expected to swim with so many dolphins...
As I entered the water at the call of Mr. Nawata, I found myself surrounded by a pod of dolphins.
The dolphins were swimming in a playful cluster, some were with their young, and when I was focused on the ocean floor, they would suddenly appear right in front of me.
I could even hear the sounds the dolphins made and clearly see their droppings!
Changing spots, I jumped back in at the command of "Okay, go down," and to my surprise, there was even a manta ray! I was so captivated by the manta ray that I completely forgot about the waterproof camera I had bought for this day.
I tried to dive like Leo, who was with us, but unfortunately had to give up due to the weight of the fat on my body.
When I returned to the boat and learned that Leo was a national record holder in freediving and had connections with Jack Mayol, I was astonished...
After enjoying another round of swimming with the dolphins, I felt completely satisfied.
I apologize for any unpleasantness caused by my seasickness during the trip... but it was such an amazing experience that I forgot all about it. I never imagined I would be able to swim with dolphins at such a close distance!!
Next time, I definitely plan to join a manta ray tour. Thank you, Mr. Nawata and Leo. I look forward to seeing you again!
子供の頃に見た「わんぱくフリッパー」の影響からか、

その後、もう一度いるか達との泳ぎを満喫し、

I think the timing of the tides played a role, as I was in water above my knees and it wasn't great.
The weather suddenly turned bad, and I was soaked and cold while moving by boat.
When switching from the bus to the boat, I was the last one to board and had to wait quite a bit, which was a bit frustrating.
I joined because of the high ratings from others, but I'm feeling like maybe that's enough for me.
満ち引きの時期が関係していると思うが、膝以上海につかっている状態でいまいちだった。

Since it was December, the water was cold, and while you can rent a wetsuit, they only provide short-sleeved tops, so I think it's better to bring long-sleeved swimwear if you're going during the colder season. I want to try this experience during a warmer time next time. Swimming with sea turtles is the best!! My husband is not a strong swimmer, but he enjoyed snorkeling, so I think snorkeling is fine even for those who are not good at swimming. If you are going by car, please be careful about parking. There is a short-term parking lot nearby for boat transfers, so make sure not to get it wrong.
12月だったため、水が冷たくて、ウェットスーツは、借りれるのですが、半袖の上着のみなので、寒い時期に行かれる方は、長袖の水着とかを持参したほうがいいと思います。今度はあったかい時期に体験してみたいです。ウミガメと泳げるのは最高です!!主人は、泳ぎが苦手なのですが、スヌーバ楽しんでいたので、泳ぎが苦手な方でも、スヌーバは大丈夫だと思います。車で行かれる場合は、駐車場に気をつけてください。船送迎用の短時間の駐車場がそばにあるので、間違えないように気をつけてください。

This is my second time participating. Last time, a few years ago, I joined an afternoon tour, but the weather wasn't great and I couldn't really feel the sandbar due to the tide. So, I made sure to check the low tide times and aimed for a day when the sandbar would be visible.
I participated in the morning tour on May 24th. I was surprised that there were more participants than expected, and we had to split into two groups. It seems everyone does their research. The weather was absolutely perfect, and just as I hoped, I was able to see the sandbar, which was beautiful. Well, there isn't much to do on the sandbar other than take pictures, but just gazing at the sparkling sea was very soothing.
During snorkeling, a friendly turtle appeared, and for a brief moment, I was able to swim close to it, which was a rare experience. I also saw a lot of fish.
After snorkeling, there was a light meal included, and it was surprisingly delicious. The warm coffee was a lifesaver.
Since the sandbar is the main attraction, I think it's better to check the low tide times properly; the weather is a matter of luck. It's also cold after snorkeling, so it's good to have something to wear.
今回は2回目の参加です。
前回は数年前に午後のツアーに参加したのですが、
お天気も良くなく潮の引き具合からサンドバーをイマイチ感じられなかったので
きちんと干潮の時間を調べ、サンドバーが出る日を狙っていきました。
5月24日の朝のツアーに参加しました。
参加者が予想以上に多く2グループに分かれたりして、ビックリしました。
やはり皆さん調べてくるんですね。
天気は最高によく、狙い通りにサンドバーを見ることができて、綺麗の一言。
ま、サンドバーでは写真を撮るだけで他にすることはないですが、
キラキラした海を眺めているだけで癒されました。
シュノーケルではツアーガイドさん達に懐いてるカメさんが現れて
一瞬ですが近くで泳ぐことができ、貴重な体験ができました。
他にもお魚さんがたくさん見れました。
シュノーケルのあとに、軽食がついていたのですが、予想以上にすごくおいしかったです。
あたたかいコーヒーに救われました。
やはりサンドバーがメインなので干潮をきちんと調べていったほうが良いかと思います、天気は運次第ですが。
シュノーケルの後は寒いので羽織るものはあったほうがよいです。

On the second day in Hawaii, I had a reservation, but it was canceled due to bad weather in Hilo (tears). It was disappointing since Waikoloa had nice weather. Due to my schedule, the only available day was the checkout day, so I rescheduled it as that was my last chance. On the final day, while waiting nervously, I was told it was okay to go today.
For those with flexible schedules, I recommend making reservations as early as possible, and if the tour is canceled due to weather, it's good to have a backup date.
Now, the actual flight was amazing. Unfortunately, the volcano was in a state of calm, so I couldn't see the dynamic lava flows or ocean entry, but I could see lava from a hole in the ground! I also saw black streaks that made me think lava was flowing underground, which was both exciting and a bit scary. It was great to see the charm of Hawaii Island's green lava landscape from the sky. However, since it was an English tour, I didn't understand most of the explanations, but even without them, seeing the scenery in front of me was more than enough to enjoy.
I participated with my 4-year-old and 1-year-old, and the kids were satisfied too!
ハワイ島2日目に予約していましたが、
ヒロの天候が悪いとのことで、催行中止に(涙)
ワイコロアが良いお天気な分残念でした。
日程的にチェックアウトの日しか予定があいていなかったので、その日がラストチャンスということで振り替えをしました。
最終日、どきどきしながら待っていると、今日はOKと言ってくれました。
日程に余裕がある人は、できるだけ日程の前の方に予約をしれて、
もし天候で催行されなくても振り替え予備日を設けておくと良いとおもいます。
さて、実際のフライトは、すばらしかったです。
残念ながら火山は小康状態だったので溶岩の流出やオーシャンエントリーというダイナミックな状態はみれませんでしたが
大地にぽっかり開いた穴から溶岩がみえました!
おそらく地中を流れているなと思わせる黒い筋もみえて
嬉しさと怖さ?とでぞくぞくとしました。
その他島の緑溶岩の大地というハワイ島の魅力を空からみれたのもよかったです。
ただ、英語ツアーだったので、説明の大部分がわからなかったのですが
それでも、説明がなくても百聞は一見にしかず、で
やはり目の前に広がる景色で充分楽しめました。
4歳と1歳の子ども連れで参加したのですが
子ども達も満足していましたよ

This was my sixth trip to Hawaii, and I finally visited the sandbar I had always dreamed of.
On the way there, the guide's stories (in English) were interesting, so I wasn't bored on the bus, and the boat ride was fun too. We participated as a family, and my 4-year-old son was quite active, which caused some trouble for the staff and other participants, but everyone was very kind to us. I am grateful for that.
The only downside was that the weather wasn't great. It was a bit rainy and cold, and the tide was high, so I couldn't fully enjoy the charm of the sandbar. Since it's a natural activity, it is definitely affected by the weather... On the way back, we even saw sea turtles from the boat. The tour itself had delicious lunch, and I was very satisfied.
I hope to participate again when the weather is nice.
ハワイ6回目にして、初めてあこがれのサンドバーに行きました。
向かう途中のバスの中でも(英語でしたが)ガイドさんの話が面白くて退屈しませんでしたし、船も楽しかったです。
ファミリーでの参加、しかも4歳の息子が一緒で、全然大人しくしていなかったので、スタッフの方やほかの参加者の方々に大変ご迷惑をおかけしましたが、皆さんにとても良くしていただきました。
感謝しています。
残念だったのは天気がいまいちだったことです。
雨がぱらついて寒かったり、潮が満ち気味だったりで、サンドバーの魅力を堪能することができませんでした。やはり自然のアクティビティなので、どうしても天候に左右されてしまいますよね…
帰りがけに、船の上からもウミガメが見れました。
ツアー自体はランチも美味しかったし、大変満足です。
今度は天気のいい時に、また参加できたらいいなあと思います。

I really enjoyed this cruise with my wife. We went on an afternoon cruise and had burgers for lunch. It was a different experience having lunch on a cruise after snorkeling. The staff was very nice and friendly and made sure we enjoyed and had fun. If we go back to Hawaii, then will definitely take this cruise again.
