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>

A Hawaiian experience. ハワイらしい体験

Reviewed by: まっく

The beauty of the sandbar was stunning, and encountering a sea turtle was moving. The snorkeling experience and the relaxed pace of the itinerary felt very much like Hawaii, and it was physically easy as well.

This experience is highly dependent on the weather, so I think the evaluation may change accordingly, but it would be excellent if it's sunny.

In any case, I liked that the itinerary was slow-paced.

The ocean is relatively cold during New Year's, so I think it's better to bring long sleeves.

サンドバーの美しさをみて、ウミガメに遭遇して感動、シュノーケル体験とゆったりとした時間の行程なのでハワイらしいですし、体力的にも楽です。

この体験は天候に非常に左右されるので、それによって評価は変わるかと思いますが、晴れたら非常によいでしょう。

とにかく行程がゆっくりしていたので、気に入りました。


お正月の海は比較的冷たいですので、長袖は持参された方がいいと思います。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング 日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内<シュノーケルセット/終日>

I got to see a sea turtle. ウミガメに会えた

Reviewed by: T.F

I was impressed by the beauty of the ocean, which is well protected. The masks provided by the tour company were sturdy diving masks, and with the guide's explanations and assistance, I was able to focus on snorkeling. I was also very moved to see a sea turtle swimming up close. It seemed to be extremely crowded in the afternoon, so it was the right choice to go on the morning tour.

厳しく保護されているだけあって、海の綺麗さに感動しました。
ツアー会社が用意してくれたマスクはダイビング用のしっかりしたもので、ガイドさんの説明とアテンドで、シュノーケリングに集中することができました。
海中で、泳ぐウミガメを至近距離で見られたことも、とても感動しました。
午後はものすごく混んでいるようだったので、午前のツアーにして正解でした。

It was fun! ☆ 楽しかったです☆

Reviewed by: Manabu Kawahara

Aloha!!

Thank you for your support at the end of the year.
This is a friendly and fun tour company run by a Japanese couple.

This tour is perfect for beginners and solo travelers, allowing you to participate with peace of mind. As expected, they are well-versed in dolphin points, and the encounter rate is truly 99%.

This time, it seems the dolphin interactions were particularly good, and I was able to play around a lot in the vast ocean of Hawaii. Three adorable dolphins swam gracefully around me, providing the ultimate healing experience and fully recharging my energy. On top of that, we also encountered humpback whales during this season, making it a fulfilling experience.

If you want to enjoy dolphin swimming on the Big Island, I think you should definitely choose this tour without hesitation. I can confidently recommend it!! I also plan to rely on them again when I go to Hawaii at the end of this year.

Thank you for the amazing time♪

Mahalo...

Aloha!!

年末にお世話になりました。
日本人夫婦で営んでるフレンドリーで
楽しいツアー会社です。

このツアーは初心者でも一人でも安心して参加できます。
さすがドルフィンのポイントを熟知しているだけあり

今回は、イルカの接近が特に良かったらしく
ハワイの大海原でメチャメチャ戯れることができました。
私の周りをかわいい三頭のイルカがグルグルと優雅に
泳いでくれ究極の癒しをもらい100%パワーチャージできました。
おまけに時期も重なってザトウクジラにも出会えて

ハワイ島でドルフィンスイムを楽しむなら
迷わずこのツアーを選んだほうがイイと思います。
自信を持ってお奨めできますね!!

All-Inclusive Kailua Beach Day Experience - Lunch, Snorkel, Bike & Gear Rental

World Class Beach

Reviewed by: Erin

My time at Kailua beach was probably the biggest highlight of my whole time in hawaii! It was beautiful and you are well away from the crowds that crowd the beach Waikiki. I chose snorkelling as my option and was not disappointed, the staff where you get your equipment from are so friendly and knowledgable, I was directed to the best part of the beach for snorkelling. I even swam out 1/2 a mile to the little island!! Which was good fun, easy enough swim, any average swimmer could do it. So beautiful and the water was so clear!

It was a bit cold. ちょっと寒かったです~

Reviewed by: ひとみ

Despite it being the rainy season, it didn't rain on the day we participated. However, the temperature wasn't very high, so it was a bit chilly. I can't really recommend this time of year, especially since it often rains. That said, going out on a yacht was completely different from enjoying the sea at the beach, and it felt great. I also tried snorkeling for the first time in my life, and the staff were very kind, which made me feel safe participating. I was able to see many beautiful fish near the coral.

雨季にも関わらず、私たちが参加した日は雨は降りませんでした^^
でも、気温はあまり高くなかったので、肌寒かったです^^;
特に雨のよく降る今の時期はあまりお勧めできません。
とはいえ、ヨットで沖に出るのは、ビーチで海を楽しむのとは全然違って、気持ちよかったです☆
そして、人生初のシュノーケリングに挑戦しましたが、スタッフの方もとっても親切で、安心して参加できました♪
サンゴの近くのきれいなお魚もたくさん見ることができました^^

It was cold! 寒かった~

Reviewed by: うみがめ

Recently, I participated with my family. The sandbar had seawater up to about my knees, and it looked very different from the photos. I think it would be better to check the tide schedules to avoid disappointment. Since December is the rainy season, it rained on the day of our visit, and the wind was strong; when we got out of the water, my daughter's lips were purple and trembling. Since there are no changing facilities, I recommend bringing warm clothes. Unfortunately, we only had a little time for snorkeling, and I wished we could have taken it a bit slower. We did see the sea turtles properly! The staff were all kind and friendly. Next time, I want to check the timing and participate again.

先日、家族と参加させていただきました。サンドバーは膝下位まで海水があり、写真の感じとは全然ちがいます。潮の満ち引きをよく調べて行った方ががっかり感はなくてすむと思います。12月は雨期ということもあり当日は雨が降ったり、風も強く海から上がった時は娘の唇は紫色で震えていました。着替えをできないので暖かい服を持って行かれた方がいいと思います。シュノーケルの時間がほんの少ししかなくて残念でした。もうちょっとゆっくりしたかったです。うみがめはちゃんと見られましたよ!スタッフの方々はみなさん親切でいい感じでした。今度は時期を調べて、もう一度参加したいです。

Close encounter with a sea turtle! ウミガメと急接近!

Reviewed by: M.N

It was disappointing that it was cloudy and cold, but it was a place I definitely wanted to visit in Hawaii, so I was very happy. When we arrived at the port, they handed out malasadas, which was unexpected and made me happy. The water level was about calf-deep, and it was a beautiful sea. Since it was our honeymoon, I wanted to order a DVD, but I didn't because of the cloudy weather, which was a shame. If I can go again, I definitely want to go on a sunny day! The sea turtles were around the boat the whole time and were so cute! Also, they were selling underwater cameras for $20 on the boat, but I could have bought one for a bit cheaper if I had purchased it in advance, so that was a mistake. The Japanese staff lady was funny and cute!

曇り空で寒かったのが残念でしたが、ハワイに行ったら絶対に行きたい場所だったのでとてもよかったです。
港に着いたときにマサラダが配られて、思いがけなかったので嬉しかったです。
水位はふくらはぎ下くらいで、きれいな海でした。
ハネムーンだったのでDVDも頼みたかったけど、曇り空が残念だったので頼みませんでした。
次回行けたら、ぜひ晴れた日に行きたいです!
ウミガメがずっと船の周りにいてくれてとれもかわいかった!
あと、船の上で水中カメラを20ドルで売ってくれましたが、前もって買っておけばもう少し安く買えたので、失敗でした。

The sandbar is truly a paradise! まさに天国とはサンドバーのこと!

Reviewed by: anko

This is my fifth time in Hawaii, but it was my first time participating in this tour! I had no idea such a wonderful place existed! Since I tend to get seasick, I was a bit anxious, but I took some motion sickness medication beforehand and it was totally fine! I was worried about whether the turtles would show up for turtle watching, but I ended up seeing four turtles! The guide was also Japanese, and he was very clear and entertaining☆ The snacks were more than just light bites; they were substantial! Unlimited refills made it the best☆ And the sandbar! It was so beautiful that I couldn't help but scream (laughs). Eating and taking photos in such a lovely place was amazing and became a treasure for me! I was moved to see a wild turtle swimming around the boat at the sandbar! It seemed friendly and didn't leave the area around the boat! It was so cute! I also had a DVD made for $45, which was a slideshow with background music that felt like something you’d see at a wedding, and I’m very satisfied with it!

However, I think it gets cold in winter with the water being chilly and the wind being strong, so a jacket is definitely necessary! But when the sun is out, it feels warm☆ This is a tour I want to go on every time I visit Hawaii! I want to participate again next year!

HAWAIIは5回目ですが初めて参加しました!
こんな素敵な場所があったなんて知りませんでした!
船酔いするタイプなので、少し不安でしたが、いちよ酔い止めを飲んでおいたら全然大丈夫でした!

人懐っこいらしく船の周りからはなれませんでした!とってもカワイイかったです!
45$でDVDも作っていただきました!結婚式で流れそうなBGM有りのスライドショーのDVDでとても満足しています!

ただ冬の時期に行くと水が冷たかったり風が強く寒いと思うので上着は絶対必要です!
でも、太陽が出ていると温かいです☆
HAWAIIに行ったら毎回行きたいツアーです!
また来年も参加したいです!

I had a truly wonderful time participating in this tour. The attention to detail from the Japanese guide made me feel 130% satisfied as a tour participant.
1) Punctuality
2) There were six participants, but the guide's awareness of each participant underwater was impressive. When I accidentally swallowed some seawater and felt a bit uncomfortable, the staff quickly noticed and asked for a tube and support for me, which was really helpful.
3) No wasted time.
4) The guide shared some of their favorite spots on the Big Island.
While these points may seem simple, I believe they are important aspects of any tour. The support from such a wonderful guide made for a fun experience and will definitely lead to repeat visits.

It's wonderful every time I go! 何度行ってもやっぱりすばらしい!

Reviewed by: kummy

Six months ago, I participated in this tour with my daughter and was deeply moved, so this time I joined with friends. Last time, I wrote about the port's restroom and my concerns about snorkeling, but this time, six months later, everything has been perfectly improved, and I was moved by that as well.

If I could make one more request, I think it would be safer and more reassuring to be able to borrow water shoes during snorkeling.

This time, the tide was low, and I was able to walk in water up to my shins. The scenery of Jurassic Park is breathtaking no matter how many times I see it.

半年前に娘とこのツアーに参加して感動をして、今度は友達と参加しました。
前回、港のトイレのことや、シュノーケリングの不安を書き込みしましたが、半年後の今回は、どれも完璧に改善されていて、それにも感動しました。
もう一つお願いできれば、シュノーケリングのときにウォーターシューズも貸し出してもらえるとより安全に安心してシュノーケリングが出来ると思います。

今回は潮もよく引いていて、すねのところまでの水かさでウォーキングできました。
ジェラシックパークの風景も何度見ても感動です。

An exciting experience! エキサイティングな体験!

Reviewed by: okei

I participated with three female friends who are also golf buddies on November 30.

Since it was the first experience for me and another friend, we were a bit nervous, but we were able to enjoy it without any worries.

On this day, we were lucky enough to have a pod of dolphins come into the bay, so we could snorkel there without moving and saw the dolphins over and over again.

The water was incredibly clear, and the dolphins swam in groups, diving deep and then coming up to the surface, jumping right in front of us, which was so exciting. Even though we couldn't catch up, we couldn't help but chase after them in excitement. I even saw a baby dolphin swimming while nursing from its mother. I can't count how many times I ended up swallowing seawater from excitement... (laughs) Even now, just remembering it brings back those emotions.

That said, we were very grateful to our guide, Mr. Nawata. While we were in the water, he constantly made sure we were safe as we swam around excitedly, sometimes diving to take pictures of the dolphins, taking pictures of us, and pulling us in the direction where the dolphins were likely to come...

The beautiful gradient of the sea color at the beach that Mr. Nawata recommended on the way back was also breathtaking.

There are many similar tours, but we all agreed that we were glad to have participated in Mr. Nawata's tour!

 ゴルフ友達女3人組で11月30日に参加しました。 

私ともう一人は初体験だったので、少し緊張してたのですが不安なく楽しむことができました。

この日はラッキーなことに、入江にイルカの群れが来てたので、移動することなく ずっとそこで シュノーケリングでき 何度も何度も イルカたちを見ました。 

海の中はすごい透明で、群れで泳いでるイルカたちが 深く潜っていき、それから海面に上がってきて、目の前でジャンプしたり、と 大興奮でした。  追いつくはずもないのに、思わず夢中で追いかけてしまいます。
赤ちゃんイルカがお母さんのおっぱいを飲みながら泳いでいるのも見ました。
興奮して叫んで何度海水を飲んだことか・・(笑)
今思い出しても あの感動が甦ります。

それにしても ガイドの縄田さんにはお世話になりました。
海に入ってる時は、上記のように興奮して泳ぎ回ってる私達に絶えず気をつけてくれ、時には 潜ってイルカの写真をとったり、私達の写真をとってくれたり、イルカの来そうな方向に引っ張って行ってくれたり・・
帰りに連れて行ってくれた、縄田さんお薦めのビーチのグラデーションの美しい海の色も感動ものでした。

同じようなツアーはたくさんありますが、この縄田さんのツアーに参加してよかった!と全員一致しました。

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>

I was able to swim with a sea turtle. ウミガメさんと一緒に泳げました

Reviewed by: yuji

I participated alone this time, but there were two pairs of women as well. Additionally, there were two Japanese guides, which made me feel secure while enjoying snorkeling and snuba.

As for seasickness, I took some motion sickness medication just before departure, but I didn't feel sick and was able to enjoy myself. Regarding the water temperature, it can be quite cold during this season, so I recommend renting a wetsuit. I wore a swimsuit underneath and put on a wetsuit over it, but I still started to feel cold, so it was a race against time.

I was able to see two sea turtles up close, which was very enjoyable. There were also many fish swimming around, and some people even saw a manta ray. The breakfast and lunch on the boat were delicious, and I was satisfied with the tour since I could enjoy beer and Mai Tai on the way back.

Snuba is an optional activity, and for some reason, only the five of us Japanese signed up for it. It was quite fun as you can dive down about 3 meters, so I recommend it. Thank you very much to the two female guides!

私は今回一人での参加だったのですが、他に女性のペアが二組いらっしゃいました。また、日本人ガイドの方も二人いらっしゃったので安心してシュノーケリングとスヌーバを楽しむことができました。

船酔いについては念のため酔い止めを出発するあたりで飲んでおきましたが、酔うことはなく楽しむことができました。次に水温ですが、この時期はけっこう冷たいのでボディースーツ?をレンタルすることをおすすめします。私は水着上下を着ていて、その上にボディースーツを着用しましたが、それでもだんだんと身体が冷えてきたので時間との戦いです。

ウミガメは二匹を間近で見ることができてとても楽しかったです。魚もたくさん泳いでいましたし、マンタを見れた方もいたそうです。船上での朝食とランチも美味しくいただきましたし、帰りはビールやMAI−TAIを飲めたので満足できるツアーでした。

スヌーバはオプションで、申し込んだのはどういうわけか私達日本人5名だけでした。3mくらい下まで潜れるのでけっこう楽しかったですしおすすめですよ。
お二人の女性ガイドの方、大変ありがとうございました!

Hello, sea turtle! ウミガメさんこんにちは

Reviewed by: 栃木県の永遠のハネムナー

On the day of the event, due to strong winds, we couldn't go to Molokini Island and were taken to a different spot. I felt reassured that the staff spoke Japanese from the hotel pickup. I thought it might be cold, but after borrowing a wetsuit, we were ready to go! The staff member, Takako, was very helpful, especially since most of us were beginners. At the second spot, we encountered sea turtles, which was very satisfying. The water temperature was not as low as I expected, and I had a wonderful time swimming with many fish. Although the activities depend on the weather, we were taken to two spots, and we had plenty of time at each, so it really felt like we swam a lot. I had a blister on my foot from traveling, so I couldn't wear fins, but the staff provided precise instructions about safety, which I greatly appreciated. I had snorkeling experience in Australia before, but thanks to Takako, I had a really enjoyable time this time. Looking back, I wish I had borrowed a camera; it would have been nice to have more information on how to take pictures during the camera rental explanation. I was worried about dropping it, so I didn't borrow one, but now I regret not doing so. The big cookies and the hamburgers cooked on the boat were delicious, and I would love to experience this again. Thank you!

11/27当日は、強風で結局モロキニ島には行けず違うスポットへ案内してもらいました。ホテルのピックアップから日本語の通じるスタッフの方で安心でした。寒いかなと思いましたが、ウエットスーツを借り、いざ! スタッフのTAKAKOさん、ほぼ初心者ぞろいだったと思うのですが、いろいろ細かく教えて下さりありがとうございました。二番目のスポットではウミガメとも遭遇でき、大満足。思ったより水温も低くなく、たくさんのお魚たちとランデブーいたしました。その日の天候に左右されるアクティビティーですが、二か所のスポットへ連れて行って頂き、各々の時間も充分だったので、「泳いだー」って感じでした。旅行中足にできた靴ずれで足ひれがつけられなかったのですが、足ひれがないと流されるからと的確な指示を下さり、安全に留意頂き大変お世話になりました。以前オーストラリアでシュノーケリングの経験がありましたが、今回のTAKAKOさんのおかげで、とっても楽しく過ごせました。あとになってみると、カメラを借りておけばよかったなと思いました、カメラのレンタルの説明の時に撮り方(きっと簡単なんでしょうけれど)とか、どんな写真が撮れるかとかもう少し教えてもらえたらよかったかな、借りて落っことしちゃったら困るかななんて考えて借りませんでしたが、やっぱり借りとけばよかったなと後悔しきり。おっきなクッキーや船上で焼いてくれたハンバーガーも美味しかったです、また体験したいです、ありがとう!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated with my 70-year-old mother. A few years ago, we both had experience with snorkeling, but since it had been a while, we were a bit anxious. We found a tour that offered proper guidance.

There were four participants, including us and a newlywed couple.

First, we received a brief explanation on how to snorkel, practiced in shallow water, and then entered the sea. When the guide, Allen, learned that my mother was 70, he took her hand and guided her through the water. It felt like he was focused on her, but I believe he also kept an eye on the newlyweds.

The waves were a bit rough that day, but we swam from two spots, the middle and the left side. I thought it might be a bit short, but looking back, it was sufficient time since it was December. It was windy, so I wore a long-sleeved rash guard.

We encountered three sea turtles and an eel. If it had just been us, I think we would have struggled. The guide was efficient in showing us the sights, even for those who were anxious about swimming, so I’m really glad we participated.

We returned to the hotel around lunchtime, so we were able to carry on with our afternoon schedule without any issues. I definitely want to participate again.

Thank you, Allen!

70歳の母と2人で参加しました。
何年か前に2人ともシュノーケル自体は経験していましたが、
久しぶりだったので少し不安もあり・・・。
ちゃんとガイドしていただけるツアーを探して見つけました。
参加者は、私達と新婚さんの4人でした。

まずシュノーケルのやり方を簡単に説明、浅瀬で練習し海に入ります。
ガイドのアレンさんは母が70歳だと告げると、母の手を取りながら、海を案内してくれました。アレンさん独占のようになってしまいましたが、新婚さんにも目を行き届かせていていたと思います。
少し波の荒い日ではありましたが、真中と左側の2か所から泳ぎました。少し短いかなとも思いましたが、12月だったので振り返れば充分な時間でした。
風が強かったので、長袖のラッシュガードを着ました。

ウミガメも3匹、うつぼにも出会え、
恐らく私達だけなら、もがいて終わっていたと思います。
泳ぎに不安な人にも効率よく見せてもらえるので、
本当に参加してよかったと思います。

帰りもお昼ぐらいにはホテルに着いていましたので、午後からのスケジュールも滞りなくこなせました。
ぜひまた参加したいです。

YOU DO SEE TURTLES! Amazing experience- we saw 5 large sea turtles at the cleaning station. We had a large one come up for air literally right in front of us- I could have reached out and touched it! We also saw dolphins and several large fish. If you want to see turtles, this is the snorkel for you... If you're looking for a close-up of tropical fish - go to a different site. Cruise is very comfortable and a great view of the Waikiki beach front.

Kilauea Volcano helicopter tour キラウエア火山 ヘリ遊覧

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was looking forward to seeing the bright red lava flowing into the sea at Kilauea Volcano, but since the earthquake in March, the lava flow has stopped, and the red lava can only be seen from a helicopter. The cost is a bit high, but since it was a special trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, I splurged and participated with my wife.

It was my first time in a helicopter, and I was a bit nervous, but the view from above was amazing. The volcanic rock, the red lava, and the flowing waterfalls were all incredibly satisfying.

キラウエア火山 真っ赤な溶岩が海に流れ落ちる様子を期待していましたが、3月の震災以降溶岩流出が止まり、赤い溶岩は ヘリコプターで上空からしか見えないとの事、費用は少々お高いが折角のハワイ島旅行、奮発して妻と参加しました。
ヘリは初めてでおっかなびっくりでしたが上空からの眺めは素晴らしく、火山の岩肌、赤い溶岩、滝の流れ 大変満足しました。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング 日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内<シュノーケルセット/終日>

Wonderful ワンダフル

Reviewed by: arapyon

Our group consisted of five people: my wife and I, an American couple, and a Canadian man. The guide was a local from the University of Hawaii and provided explanations in both English and Japanese.

Last year, I admired the view and beauty of Hanauma Bay from a distance, and I decided to take a snorkeling course at a sports club with the hope of trying it next year. Thanks to that, I was able to fully enjoy Hanauma Bay. It was simply wonderful. I want to go again next year.

我々のグループはわれら夫婦、アメリカ人カップル、それとカナダ男性の5人でした。ガイドはハワイ大学出身の現地ガイドで英語と日本語での説明でした。
昨年ハナウマ湾を遠望してその景観と美しさにあこがれ、来年こそシュノーケリングにトライしようとスポーツクラブで講習を受けてきました。そのおかげでハナウマ湾を満喫できました。素晴らしいの一言です。来年も行きたいと思っています。

Feeling secure◎ You can meet sea turtles♪ 安心感◎ウミガメに会える♪

Reviewed by: ダリ

I love the ocean and have gone snorkeling many times, but my partner wasn't comfortable in the water, so I participated. Despite the short time, I was able to see sea turtles five times!! It wasn't enough for me, but I think it's great for those who have limited time or aren't good swimmers. Our guide, Alan, had some funny jokes(^^).

私は海が大好きで何度もシュノーケルしていますが、相方が海が苦手だったので参加しました。
時間が短い割に5回もウミガメに会えました!!
私には物足りなかったですが、時間を有効利用出来るので時間がない人や泳ぎが苦手な方には良いと思います。
ガイドのアランさんのジョークが面白かった(^^)

The weather is... 天気が・・・

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

It's really disappointing when the weather is bad.

However, the staff tried to lift our spirits, which was very nice, and overall, I had a great time.

The food was delicious too.

But it was so cold because of the bad weather...

I definitely want to try again.

天気が悪いとホント残念です。

でもスタッフさんが盛り上げようとしてくれて、とても好感がもてたし、全体的には楽しかったです。

ごはんもおいしかったし。

ただもう天気悪かったんで寒くて寒くて・・・。

ぜひリベンジしたいですね。

Thank you for participating in the Heavenly Sea Tour. As you pointed out, there are times when the weather may not be ideal, and it can feel a bit chilly when the sun is hidden. Therefore, we recommend bringing a light jacket that you can easily put on. We hope that next time you will bring a light jacket and enjoy the Heavenly Sea once again. We look forward to your next visit.

天国の海ツアーにご参加いただき有難うございます。ご指摘いただいた通り、天候が思わしくない時や日がかげった時など多少肌寒く感じることもございますので、簡単に羽織れる上着などをご持参されますことをおすすめしております。ぜひ次回は軽い上着をお持ちいただき、再度天国の海をお楽しみいただけましたら幸いです。またのお越しお待ちしております。

Blue sea 青い海

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated with a friend. Since we didn't have a car, it was very helpful to have a shuttle service by bus.

We went in March, and although it was a bit chilly with strong winds, the blue sea and sandy beach were amazing. It might have been even better if the weather had been nice. ^^;

友人と二人で参加しました。
車に乗らないので、バスで送迎して貰えるのは
とても助かりました。

3月に行き、風が強く少し肌寒かったのですが、
青い海と砂浜は最高でした。
天気がよかったらもっとよかったかも^^;

Hawaii Big Island Helicopter Tour – Volcanoes, Valleys & Waterfalls Flight

Big Island Adventure

Reviewed by: Debra N. from Iowa

I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is a first time visitor to the Big Island. The views were spectacular! Take many pictures in flight as the DVD of the flight does not capture everything you see and ask alot of questions about what you are seeing. For me, it was worth the money! The staff were great!

Overwhelmed by the volcano and nature. 火山と自然に圧倒

Reviewed by: 小春

We participated as a family of four, including our children (ages 4 and 2). The price is honestly high, but it was a valuable tour.

As of November 2011, the volcano was in a state of calm, so we couldn't see the flowing lava, but we were able to see red magma and smoke from the cracks in the earth. It was great to see the different landscapes of the island from the air, including near waterfalls, the ocean, and land with varying climates.

By the way, our original reservation date was canceled due to bad weather after checking in on-site. Since we had some flexibility in our schedule, we were able to change it to a later date and participate without any issues. If you make a reservation, I recommend booking for the first half of your arrival in Hawaii and setting aside an extra day as a backup.

I had hoped for a Japanese-speaking pilot for our weekday reservation, but unfortunately, the guidance was in English. Honestly, I didn't understand most of the explanations, but I enjoyed the scenery. If there had been a Japanese guide, I might have enjoyed it even more. That's the only disappointment.

夫婦+子ども(4歳、2歳)の4人で参加しました。
価格は正直高いですが、価値のあるツアーでした。

2011年11月現在は火山も小康状態ということで
流れる溶岩をみることはできませんでしたが、
大地の切れ目から見える赤いマグマ、煙をみることができ、
島内遊覧も滝の近くや海や陸、気候の違う大地を空からみることができて良かったです。

ちなみに、当初の予約日は天候不良のため、現地チェックイン後に催行中止になりました。
日程に余裕があったので、後日に変更して無事参加できました。
予約される場合は、ハワイ島到着日前半に予約をして
予備日を一日設けておくのをお勧めします。

平日予約で日本人パイロット希望でしたが、残念ながら英語案内でした。
正直説明はほとんどわかりませんでしたが、景色は楽しめました。
日本語ガイドだったらもっと楽しめたのかもしれませんね。
そこだけ残念です。

We hope to see you again on the Big Island.
