ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー 滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く!<午前・午後/英語ガイド/食事付>by フェアウィンド号

I am very satisfied with the beautiful sea. きれいな海に大満足

Reviewed by: ナオピー

This was my second time participating, and my family was just as satisfied as ever with the beautiful sea and stunning fish. The snorkeling itself was great, but I was also pleased with the delicious bread and hamburgers we could enjoy for both breakfast and lunch. I should have come with a bigger appetite in the morning. The snorkeling was completely fine for beginners, and they provided prescription goggles for those with poor eyesight, so even someone like me with strong nearsightedness could easily enjoy observing underwater.

今回2回目の参加でしたが相変わらず美しい海と美しい魚に家族も大満足でした。シュノーケル自体もよかったですが朝食、昼食ともにおいしいパンやハンバーグをたらふく食べられてこの点も満足でした。朝からもっと空腹で参加すべきでした。シュノーケルは初心者でも全く問題なく、また近視などに対してもレンズ付きの水中めがねが用意されており私のような強い近視でも問題なく水中観察ができました。

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>

The number one activity on the sea! 海上ナンバーワンのアクティビティ!

Reviewed by: soro

Last week on July 21, my daughter (Emi) and I participated in this activity. We were the only Japanese people there, but right from the start, we were encouraged by the captain's cheerful demeanor, making it an activity that anyone can enjoy without feeling shy about their English skills.

I must say upfront that I can confidently declare this is probably the most satisfying activity you can experience in coastal events. We slowly set sail from the Kailua Yacht Harbor, but soon we would experience the meaning behind the skull and crossbones on the boat... yes, that pirate symbol! Perhaps it’s due to the captain's personality! Haha.

This is an exhilarating experience as we fly over the waves! Plus, snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters and enjoying light snacks is a happiness package that you wouldn't expect at this price. (Actually, it seems the event has been upgraded to include snacks starting at 10 AM, instead of the usual two-part morning and afternoon sessions.)

Fortunately or unfortunately, there was a tiger shark sighting! As we headed a bit farther out, we encountered dolphins and several whales. I think it was lucky to be surrounded by whales during the tour.

During snorkeling, I was so overwhelmed by the beauty that I ended up diving too much, and I apologize for losing track of time! Nevertheless, I sincerely thank Captain Zodiac for their outstanding service to the customers. Thank you very much!

先週7/21に娘(エミ)と私の二人で参加しました。
日本人は私達だけでしたが、のっけから船長の愉快な音頭に促され、英語など問題にならずにどなたでも気後れすることなく楽しめるアクティビティだと思います。
最初に申し上げておきますが、おそらく近海のイベントでは最強の満足感を得られるアクティビティだと断言いたします。
先ずはカイルアのヨットハーバーをゆっくりと出航していきます。が、やがてボート書いてあるドクロ…そう、あの海賊マークが意味する理由をこれでもかというほど味わうことになるのです。もしかしてキャプテンの性格によるかも!アハ。
なんつったって波間をぶっ飛ぶ爽快な体感イベント!それに透明度抜群な海域での十分なスノーケル、プラス軽食といった内容は、このプライスでは考えられない幸せパッケージです。(実は、本来なら午前と午後の二部制なのですが、10時から軽食つきのイベントにバージョンアップされたようです)
このたびは幸か不幸か、タイガーシャークが出た!とのことで、少し遠方に向ったためにイルカや数頭の鯨に遭遇できたのです。特に鯨に囲まれての遊覧はラッキーだったと思います。
スノーケルでは、あまりの美しさに圧倒されて潜りすぎ、時間もすぎてしまいゴメンなさい!
それにしてもお客さんへのサービス精神に溢れたキャプテンゾディアック…心から御礼申し上げます。どうもありがとう!

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 want to go again. もう一度行きたい

Reviewed by: tsugu

We participated in a morning tour with my 7-year-old and 10-year-old daughters and my wife, who can't swim. Our guide, Alan, picked us up at the meeting point, and on the way, we stopped by Alan's office to choose fins that fit my feet before heading to Hanauma Bay. Alan is a friendly guy who has lived in Nagoya, so he speaks Japanese quite well.

First, we learned how to wear the mask, breathe, and use the fins. We paired up with the kids and set off holding hands. When we got to deeper water, my younger child got scared, but Alan held their hand too, and the three of us held hands as he took us to various points.

There were many different fish, and they came so close that it felt like we could catch them if we reached out. They swam right in front of us and below us without fleeing. We didn't see any turtles, but we encountered some very large fish and long, slender fish about a meter long. Alan mentioned that turtles don't come to the bay much during low tide because it's shallow.

Towards the end, my daughters and wife got tired and decided to retire, while I asked Alan to take me to another point, which left me very satisfied. I brought a disposable underwater camera, but it was difficult to take pictures while floating. I won't know how well they turned out until I develop the film.

Thanks to the life jacket, my wife, who can't swim, was able to float and enjoyed herself. The kids seemed to have a great time too and were reluctant to leave. Alan was very considerate, so we completed the tour without any worries.

For those considering the tour, here's some helpful information: they provide a fairly large safety box (with a lock), which easily accommodated changes of clothes, towels, and sandals for all four of us. The ride down to the beach was easy since we took a trolley bus (the trolley bus fee seemed to be included in the participation cost). There were also showers and changing areas available.

It's a tour that makes you want to participate again!

7歳と10歳の娘と泳げない妻との4人で午前中のツアーに参加しました。
ガイドのアランさんがピックアップ場所まで迎えに来てくれ、途中アランさんの事務所により自分の足に合ったフィンを選びハナウマ湾へ出発。アランさんは名古屋に住んでいたことがあるらしく日本語が達者な気さくなオッサンです。
最初にマスクの付け方、呼吸の仕方やフィンの使い方などを教わり、大人と子どものペアで手をつなぎ出発。深い所に行くと下の子が怖がってしまいましたが、アランさんも子どもの手をつないでくれ3人で手をつなぎいろんなポイントに連れて行ってもらいました。
いろんな魚がたくさんいて、手を伸ばせば捕まえれそうな距離まで近づいても逃げずにいるし、私たちの前や下を普通に泳いで行きます。
亀にはあえませんでしたが、とても大きな魚や1mぐらいはある細長い魚たちに遭遇。亀は引き潮の時間は湾が浅いからあまり来ないと言っていました。
終盤に娘と妻が疲れたとリタイヤ、私はアランさんに別のポイントに連れて行ってもらい大満足。
使い捨ての水中カメラを持って行ったのですが、浮かんだ状態での撮影は難しいです。上手く写っているかは現像してみないと分かりません。
泳げない妻もライフジャケットのおかげで浮いていられ、楽しんでいました。
子どもたちもとても楽しんでくれたみたいで帰るのを惜しんでいました。
アランさんがいろいろと気をつかってくれたので何の不安もなく無事ツアー終了。

ツアー検討中の方へ参考となれば
結構大きいセーフティボックス(鍵付き)を持っていってくれるので、4人分の着替えとタオル、サンダルはその中に余裕で入りました。
海までの上り下りはトロリーバスで行くので楽チン(トロリーバス代は参加費に含まれていたみたい)
シャワーと着替える場所はありました。
もう一度参加したくなるツアーです。

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures

A highlight of our family trip

Reviewed by: Sharlene - New Zealand

This was definitely a highlight of our trip to Maui. We had a group of five for this trip, ranging in age from 8 to 73 and everyone had a blast. It was something completely new and unique for us and the memories of my son's face and he was swimming with the turtles and fish will always be with me. It was priceless and I would highly recommend it. The staff were great and gave me complete confidence that they would take care of my son as they encouraged him with the Snuba-ing. They were very patient and explained everything with a sense of humour and made the day completely memorable for us all. Thank you!

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー 滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く!<午前・午後/英語ガイド/食事付>by フェアウィンド号

After swimming with the fish... お魚と泳いだ後は・・・

Reviewed by: Hawaii大好き

This was my first time on the Big Island. I was unsure which tour to choose, but I knew I couldn't miss out on the ocean! So, I signed up for the Fair Wind Kealakekua Bay Snorkeling Cruise.

Since I had rented a car, I went to check out the parking lot the day before. There's a parking lot less than 100 meters away (although there were quite a few people parking on the street). I felt reassured and ready to participate on the day of the tour.

After checking in, it was time to board! Breakfast was provided, including bagels and fruit. There was also water and juice available, so you can fill up before enjoying the experience. They have fins and floatation devices, so even those who aren't confident swimmers can enjoy themselves. There are staff members who speak Japanese, so there's no need to worry about communication.

Under the sea, I encountered many fish, including yellow ones (I believe they were called Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa) and eels. As I started to feel tired, a wonderful smell wafted from the boat. You can return to the boat at any time, and you can also go for a swim, so I think it's best to enjoy at your own pace.

Definitely make the most of it!

ハワイ島は初めて。
どのツアーに申し込もうかと悩みましたが、やはり海ははずせない!!のでハワイ島ケアラケクア湾 シュノーケリングクルーズ by フェアウィンド号に申し込みました。

レンタカーを借りていたので、前日現地の駐車場の下見に行きました。100メートルも離れていない所に駐車場があります。(路駐の人もおおかったけど)当日安心して参加しました。
チェックインを済ませ、いざ乗船!!
ベーグルやフルーツ等の朝食が用意されています。水やジュースもありますのでしっかり腹ごしらえをしてから楽しめます。フィンや浮き輪などがあるので、泳ぎの苦手な方でも安心して楽しめます。日本語の話せるスタッフの方がいるのでこちらも心配しなくても大丈夫です。
海の中には、黄色い魚(確か、フヌフヌヌクヌクアプアア)やうつぼなど等、沢山の魚に出会えます。
疲れてきた頃、良い匂いにが船からしてくるのです。
いつでも船に戻れますし、泳ぎにも行けますのでご自分のペースで楽しまれると良いと思います。


是非、満喫してください。

Na Pali Coast Explorer Ocean Rafting Snorkel Tour (from Kikiaola Harbor)

Quite an adventure!

Reviewed by: Nicole

This was one of the highlights of my whole trip! But first the bad stuff:

Be prepared that riding in a small zodiac very quickly through the extremely bumpy, choppy Pacific Ocean is not for the faint of heart!! You're basically holding on for dear life to a rope and you're bumping and bopping all over the place as you're speeding through the ocean. And then it rains and those drops sting you're eyes as you're speeding in a boat. If you even THINK you have a sore back or neck DO NOT do this! My boyfriend and I are both in excellent shape and we both still had soreness in our backs and butts for two days afterward from the boat ride and our knuckles were rubbed raw from holding onto the rope (we should have used the gloves the captain offered us!).

But it was SO worth it!! We even boated over a whole group of dolphins and you're seeing them way up close and personal in this zodiac rather than on a big high boat. It was so amazing!! The snorkeling is wonderful, the Na Pali Coast is

The cold sea of heaven. 寒かった天国の海

I had to cancel last time because I caught a cold, so I went for a revenge trip.

On July 13th, it was sunny in Waikiki, but the ocean in Heaven was cloudy... It was cold, but the staff's support was excellent! I had a great time.

It was my first time snorkeling, but I felt very safe with the staff watching over us. The fish and corals were absolutely amazing! I was moved by the incredible color of the ocean when the sun peeked through!

I want to go again.

前回風邪を引いてキャンセルしてしまったので、リベンジしてきました。

7/13の参加で、ワイキキでは晴天だったのに、天国の海は曇り。。。寒かったですが、スタッフさんの対応もばっちり!とても楽しめました。

シュノーケリングは初挑戦でしたが、スタッフさんが見守ってる中だったのでとても安心できました。そして、魚もサンゴもとてもすばらしかった!
晴れ間が覗いた時の海の色のすごさには感動しました!

また行きたいです。

サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも!<午前・午後/日本語クルー>

That's amazing!! すご~い!!

Reviewed by: YUPPY

At the sandbar between the seas, I felt the mystery of nature, it was amazing! For my first time snorkeling, I cautiously ventured from the sandbar to a point where the sea turned a deep blue. I was half scared and half excited, but there were so many fish in the coral reef, it was incredible! Unfortunately, my friend and I couldn't quite grasp the snorkeling techniques and had to give up on going to the deeper part of the sea, but it seemed we practiced a lot at the sandbar. Later, we went to Hanauma Bay for a revenge attempt, and it seems our practice paid off as we were able to see the fish. The staff lady at the sandbar checks if you can snorkel, so it's better not to push yourself too hard.

On that day, there were about 40 participants in the morning session, but in the afternoon when I joined, there were only about 10 people, allowing us to enjoy the scenery comfortably. I also got to taste the much-anticipated malasada, and the BBQ was delicious, it was just the best! Additionally, I brought a waterproof case for my digital camera, which made it so much fun. The photos are filled with my amateurish attempts, but I definitely recommend everyone to bring a waterproof camera. (Photos 5 and 6 are from Hanauma.) There was also a playful and mischievous captain who suddenly showed us a sea cucumber right in front of us, making it a truly enjoyable day.

海と海の間にあるサンドバーで、自然の神秘を感じすごーい?。そして人生初のシュノーケルで、サンドバーから恐る恐る海が濃い青に変わっているポイントへ。怖さとワクワクが半分でしたが、さんご礁にお魚いっぱいですごーい、すごーーい?。残念ながら、私と同行の友人はシュノーケルのコツがつかめず、海が深いポイントへは断念しましたが、サンドバーでずっと練習していた様で、後日ハナウマ湾へリベンジに行ったのですが練習の成果が出てお魚を見る事が出来た様です。サンドバーでスタッフのお姉さんがシュノーケル出来るか見てくれますので余り無理はしない方が良いですね。
この日午前便は40名程の参加者がいた様ですが、私が参加した午後は10名程度でゆったり景色を見る事が出来ました。期待のマラサダ?も食し、BBQも美味しくってもうサイコー★ あと、私はデジカメを防水仕様に出来るウォータープルーフケースを持っていったのですっごい楽しめました。ど素人ぶりが満載な写真ですが、皆様も是非カメラは防水を持っていかれる事をおススメいたします。(5・6枚目はハナウマ) イキナリなまこを握って目の前に出してくるおちゃめでいたずらっ子なキャプテンもいて本当に楽しい1日でした。

I was truly moved to encounter dolphins!!

When I arrived in Hawaii, I was anxious about what the tour staff would be like, but they were really kind and helped create wonderful memories!!

It was reassuring that the staff were Japanese.

Whether or not we would see dolphins was uncertain until that day, but it felt amazing to speed across the beautiful ocean on the boat.

When the dolphins came close, I was really touched, and I still feel happy that I got to swim with them.

The activity passed by in the blink of an eye.

If you go to Hawaii, I definitely recommend participating!!

Dolphins are the best!! イルカ最高!!

Reviewed by: ポン

I participated in the dolphin tour again this year. This time, it was with Dolphin Junior High. From the boat, we spotted about 50 dolphins! According to the guide, there are twice as many underwater. When I excitedly entered the water, I encountered many dolphins one after another!! I was very satisfied to hear dolphin babies and their sounds! For those who prioritize meeting dolphins, I think Dolphin Junior High is a great choice. In comparison to the other tour I took last time, which had a larger boat and allowed for fun on the boat and snorkeling, this tour focused more on dolphins, and we weren't as impressed with the snorkeling. However, I was very satisfied to meet so many dolphins. I believe those who are mainly interested in dolphins will have a great time.

去年に続き、イルカツアーに参加しました。
今回は、イルカ中学での参加でした。船の上からイルカの群れを50頭位発見!
ガイドの人によると、水中にはこの倍はいるとのこと。
胸をふくらませて水中に入ると、次から次へとたくさんのイルカに出会うことができました!!
イルカの赤ちゃんやイルカの声も聞けて大満足です!
イルカに出会うことを中心で考えられる方は、イルカ中学がいいと思います。前回の他のツアーは、もっと大きな船で船上やシュノーケルでも楽しめましたが、このツアーはイルカ中心でシュノーケルについては私たちはいまいちでした。でも、たくさんのイルカに出会えてとても満足でした。イルカメインで考えている方は、十分楽しめると思います。

I tried to catch up with the dolphins and swam faster and faster, but of course, the dolphins were much quicker. It was quite interesting to encounter them while they were swimming leisurely. I felt a thrill when a dolphin looked up at me!

It seems that the turtles have specific spots where they can be found, so it was easy to see them once I got to the right place. I was surprised by how big the turtles were!

I participated in the afternoon barbecue event. I was immediately given a malasada, and my spirits were high! With the staff's cheers, we began. We took a boat to the sandbar, and upon arrival, it felt like paradise. It was truly Hawaii. We enjoyed the sandbar in a private setting. The BBQ that followed was quite substantial and incredibly delicious. By chance, we joined a tour hosted by a Japanese celebrity and encountered live celebrities. Lucky!! At the sandbar, there was also a professional photographer taking pictures (to be posted on the website), which is recommended for couples. After enjoying the beautiful sea while snorkeling, we returned to the boat and encountered turtles. As we quietly waited for the turtles, we spotted their shells in the waves. We were able to see them three times (three turtles), which was very satisfying. We were blessed with good weather, and it became a wonderful memory.

午後のバーベキュー付に参加しました。いきなりマラサダをもらい気分は上々!!スタッフの掛け声とともに、始まりました。サンドバーまで船で行き、着けばそこは天国。まさにハワイ。貸切状態で、サンドバーを満喫しました。その後のBBQもかなりのボリュームと、かなりのおいしさ。たまたま、日本の芸能人の主催するツアーとも一緒になり、生芸能人にも遭遇。ラッキー!!サンドバーではプロカメラマンによる写真撮影(HPに掲載)もあり、カップルにもお勧め。きれいな海をシューノーケルで廻り、満喫した後は船に戻り、亀との遭遇。静かに亀を待っていると、波間に甲羅が。三度も目撃でき(三カメ)大満足。好天にも恵まれ、とてもよい思い出になりました。

Beautiful sandbar キレイなサンドバー

Reviewed by: vitamin

The contrast of the blue sky, emerald green sea, and sandbar was very beautiful, and the sandbar exceeded my expectations. We walked about five minutes through knee-deep water from the boat to the sandbar. I read reviews beforehand and was glad I brought an underwater camera. (They were selling underwater cameras on the boat for $20 for participants who didn't bring one.)

The snorkeling was not enjoyable, possibly due to the previous day's weather, as the water clarity was poor and there were hardly any fish. I was disappointed since I participated with the intention of snorkeling. In this tour, snorkeling is done barefoot without fins.

I think this is a good tour for those who want to enjoy the sandbar.

 青い空とエメラルドグリーンの海とサンドバーのコントラストがとてもキレイで、サンドバーは期待以上でした。
 船からサンドバーまで膝下ぐらいの水位のある海を5分ぐらい歩きます。事前に口コミを読んで、水中カメラを持参して良かったです。(水中カメラを持参していない参加者向けに、船上で水中カメラを20ドルで販売していました。)
 シュノーケリングは前日の天候の影響もあってか海の透明度が悪く、魚もほとんどいなく楽しめませんでした。
 私は、シュノーケリング目的で今回参加したため残念でした。このツアーでのシュノーケリングは、フィンを付けず、素足で行います。
 サンドバーを楽しむために参加するには、良いツアーだと思います。

It was such a wonderful experience that I can still remember the images vividly. The Ko'olau mountain range viewed from the sea was wrapped in deep mystery, contrasting with the sparkling ocean, and it captivated me. While snorkeling, I discovered a sea turtle swimming near the surface in the blue sea! Although it was only for a few seconds, being able to swim alongside it is an unforgettable memory for a lifetime. When we landed on the sandbar, the angle of the light made the sea display different colors, sparkling in 360 degrees. When I asked the guide to take some photos, they captured great shots by changing the background with prompts like, "Jump in this scenery" and "Sit in the water." I ended up with some beautiful pictures. Additionally, I made a reservation two days before departing for Hawaii at 11:00 PM Japan time, and I received a confirmation reply just six hours later, which allowed me to leave for Hawaii with peace of mind. Since it was a plan that allowed us to return to the hotel in the morning, we were able to enjoy the pool and shopping in the afternoon. I checked the tide conditions in advance before applying, so the sandbar was well formed.

今でもその映像が思い出せるほど素敵な経験でした。海から一望するコオラウ山脈は、輝く海とは反対に深い神秘に包まれ引きつけられました。シュノーケリングでは青い海の中、海面近くを泳ぐウミガメを発見!数十秒でしたが一緒に泳ぐことができて忘れられない一生の思いでです。サンドバーへ上陸すると、光りの角度によって海が違う色をなしていて360度キラキラとしていました。ガイドの方にシャッターを御願いすると、「この景色でジャンプ」「海に入って座って」などバックに映る景色を変えながら撮影をしてくれたので、素敵な写真も出来上がりました。また、ハワイへ発つ2日前日本時間の23:00に予約をしたのですが、6時間後には正式に受付け完了の返信が届き、安心してハワイに発つことができました。午前中にホテルへ戻れるプランなので、午後はプールや買い物に行けました。事前に干潮の状態を確認して申込みをしたのでサンドバーはしっかりとできていました。

Don't let the less then perfect weather deter you from going. We went on a cloudy overcast day and were still able to enjoy the fishes and sea turtles. Bring a water camera, get picture opportunity.
