Very satisfied. 大満足

Reviewed by: non

This was my first time in Hawaii.

I chose this place because there was a high probability of seeing dolphins, and it was definitely the right choice☆

I was able to swim with the dolphins perfectly.

I thought I had to go out to sea to see them, but as soon as the boat left, several dolphins welcomed us.

They even came close to the boat, showing off their jumps, and I was excited from the very beginning.

To swim with them, we searched for another spot...
I was starting to think we might not find them today, but thanks to the staff who were searching hard, we discovered another pod of dolphins.

We went to the front of the pod by boat and dove in.

There were the dolphins.
And there were even baby dolphins with them♪

They were so cute.

Dolphins swim fast, so they can get far away, but the boat brings you back close again, allowing you to swim with them multiple times.
Thanks to that, I was able to swim right next to them.
I never thought I would be able to swim so close, so I was really moved.

The staff's service was excellent, and if I ever go to Hawaii again, this is a tour I would love to join again.

今回は初ハワイ

かなり高い確率でイルカに会えるということで、ここを選んだんですが大正解☆

ばっちりイルカと泳ぐことが出来ました。

イルカは沖のほうに行かないといないと思っていたのに、船を出ると、すぐに数頭がお出迎えしてくれました。

しかも船の近くまで寄ってきてくれます。ジャンプを見せてくれたり、最初からテンション上がっちゃいました。

一緒に泳ぐために、別のスポットを探しに・・・
なかなか見つけられなくて、今日はもう無理なのかなぁ~って思っていると、スタッフが一生懸命探してくれたおかげでまたイルカの群れ発見。

群れの先頭まで船で行き、ダイブ

いましたイルカ達が。
しかも、子供イルカも一緒に♪

すっごくかわいかったです。

イルカは泳ぎが速いので、遠くに行ってしまいますが、船でまた近くまで運んでくれるので何回もイルカと泳ぐことが出来ます。
おかげで、真横を一緒に泳ぐことが出来ました。
あんなに近くで泳げるとは思わなかったので、凄く感激しました。

スタッフの対応もとてもよく、ハワイに行くことがあったら、また参加したいツアーです。

It was moving!! 感動！！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

It was both of our first time in Hawaii for our honeymoon. I had previously participated in a dolphin tour in Guam, but I didn't get to see any dolphins then, so I signed up for this tour as a sort of revenge.

On the day of the tour, the weather was clear, and I thought, "Today, I will finally see dolphins!" However, when we got out to sea, there was absolutely no sign of dolphins! I started to feel down, thinking that maybe I just wasn't meant to see dolphins. But the staff worked hard to find them, and they finally spotted some! I was truly moved when I saw a dolphin jump.

However, we were swimming quite far out, and they told us that snorkeling here could be dangerous, prioritizing safety. Just as I was feeling down about that, the dolphins swam closer to the shallow area, and the staff said, "Alright, everyone, get ready to dive!" At that moment, we all jumped into the water at the staff's signal, and we were able to see the adorable dolphins underwater.

I was really touched. On the way back in the car, both of us fell into a deep sleep, and we ended up leaving something behind in the car. When I inquired about it, they found our lost item and said they couldn't bring it right away, but they would take it to the front desk that night for us to pick up. When we went to the front desk that evening, it was there waiting for us. I truly apologize for the inconvenience. I am very grateful for everyone's warm response.

新婚旅行で２人共初ハワイでした。以前私はグアムでイルカツアーに参加したことがあるのですが、そのときはイルカに会えなかったので、リベンジと思い、申し込みました。
当日は晴天で今日こそイルカに会える~~と思っていましたが、いざ海に出てみると・・・イルカの気配が全くない！！私はイルカと縁がないのかな~とへこんでいると、必死にスタッフの方が探して下さり、なんとかイルカを発見！イルカのジャンプを見たときは本当に感動しました。
でも、けっこう沖を泳いでいたので、ここでシュノーケリングは危険、安全第一ね、と言われへこんでいると、イルカが浅瀬に近寄っていき、、、よしみんな潜る準備だ！と。それからはスタッフの合図と同時に続々海にはいり、なんとかわいいイルカを海の中で見ることができました。
ほんとうに感動しました。
帰りの車の中では２人も爆睡し、、、なんと車の中に忘れ物をしてしまいました。問い合わせてみると忘れ物を見つけてくれ、今すぐは無理だけど、夜持って行ってフロントに預けておくから受け取ってください、とのことでした。夜フロントに行ってみるとちゃんと届いていましたよ。本当にご迷惑をかけてすみませんでした。皆さんの暖かい対応にとても感謝しています。

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise

Beautiful Experience

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The experience with the mantas was the highlight of our honeymoon. They are beautiful, amazing creatures and spending time with them was fantastic. The scuba diver who attracts the mantas also filmed it and it was the one DVD/picture set that we bought of all of our tours. We really loved the animals, but hte experience was so-so. Do NOT go on this tour if you are not comfortable snorkeling, as they really do not hold your hand--you go in the water in the dark and there isn't really a lifeguard or somebody making sure that you are with the pack. Its fine if you are comfortable, just be warned. The only other downside was the other people on the boat with us who, instead of passively watching the creatures and taking their turn with them, swam over on top of us every time the manta were near us. We got kicked in the head by stranger's fins and we have it all on tape! I might recommend trying to get somebody to take you on a personal charter for this beautiful experience, it would probab

Dolphins are fast movers. イルカって動きが早い(^^;)///

Reviewed by: チュパ＆クエ

This year marks our third consecutive trip to Hawaii in September. During our last visit, we participated in a tour to swim with dolphins, and this time we were eager to swim with wild dolphins again, so we joined the "Dolphin School."

Last time, we went on a tour called "Ryugu..." but this time it's "Dolphin School." The main difference is the type of boat. It's a significant difference, like comparing a cruiser to a boat. If you're looking for a leisurely resort vibe, "Ryugu..." might be the choice. But if you want to go fast and have an exciting experience, then "Dolphin School" is the way to go! Not only do you get to meet dolphins, but you can also enjoy riding on a speedboat, which allows for quick maneuvers and speed. You can swim with the dolphins multiple times, something that's not possible on a cruiser.

Dolphins are really fast! So, I realized that moving by boat makes a lot of sense. We swim hard together, but of course, we get left behind (T^T). So, we often circle back in front of the dolphin pod, wait for them, and swim together when they come! If we get left behind, we hop back on the boat and get taken back to the front of the dolphin pod again. Then we swim together again! It sounds busy, but it’s not as hectic as it seems. It’s fun, and we end up putting in quite a bit of effort.

In the latter part of the trip, we relaxed while snorkeling at a spot with tropical fish.

Here, we could swim alongside sea turtles that were gliding leisurely, and it was effortless to enjoy their company. They were quite large and adorable. Plus, the water was so clear that we could see divers diving right below us. It was such an interesting sight that I took some photos.

I highly recommend that everyone join and gain this experience! It's a must-try! (^^)

今年で３回連続の９月を使ってのハワイ旅行。
前回ハワイを訪れた際も、イルカと泳ぐツアーに参加した私たちでしたが、今回もぜひ野生のイルカと一緒に泳ぎたい！！と、このい「いるか中学」に参加しました。

前回は、「龍宮･･･」って言うツアーに参加したんですが、今回は「いるか中学」。
何が違うかというと、ボートが違います。
ここは大きな違いで、クルーザーかボートか、みたいな。
ゆっくりリゾート気分なら「龍宮･･･」かな。
いきおい良くバンバン行きたいなら「いるか中学」！
イルカに会うだけじゃなく、スピードボートの乗船でも楽しめるし、小回りやスピード、停船の早さ、クルーザーでは不可能な行動力でイルカに何度も一緒に泳げます。

イルカって動きが早い！！
だから、ボートで動くって利にかなってるなと実感しました。
とにかく一緒に頑張って泳ぐんだけど、もちろん置いて行かれます(T^T)
だから、何度もイルカの群れの前に回りこみ、そこで待ち伏せし、イルカが来たら一緒に泳ぐ！！
置いて行かれたら、ボートに再度乗り込み、またもやイルカの群れの前に連れて行ってもらいます。
で、また一緒に泳ぐ！
みたいな。
忙しく聞こえますが、実際そこまで忙しくはありません。
楽しくって結構頑張っちゃいます。

後半は熱帯魚のいるポイントでゆったりシュノーケル。

ここには、海亀がゆったり泳いでいるので、頑張ることなく一緒に泳げます。
けっこう大きくて可愛いです。
しかも、透明度がいいので、真下でダイビングしているダイバー達を目視できちゃいます。
その光景が面白かったので写真撮っちゃいました。

みまさんにも、ぜひ参加して経験値UPしてください！
おすすめです(^^)！

Kealakekua Bay snorkeling ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング

Reviewed by: プルメリア

I participated on September 6th. It was an afternoon course.
I've been visiting the Big Island for five years, and until now, I've only spent my time with volcanoes, golf, or driving...
But I had no idea there were such wonderful sea activities!
The water is incredibly clear, and you can see the corals and fish very vividly. I want to go again!
Kealakekua Bay, which has been a sacred place since ancient times, still has limited access for boats entering the bay. All the staff from the tour company were foreigners, so Japanese wasn't spoken, but it wasn't a problem at all.
You can also spend time at a nearby shopping center before and after the tour, which is convenient.

For afternoon tours, they mentioned that light snacks would be provided, but it was just a small amount of snacks and cut fruits, so I recommend eating something beforehand.
We bought ahi rolls (sushi) and soup at the KTA supermarket in the nearby Keauhou Shopping Center and ate them on a bench before going. You can also enjoy a stunning sunset from that shopping center on the way back.

9/6に参加しました。午後からのコースです。
ハワイ島に行きはじめて5年、今までは火山かゴルフかドライブか・・・という過ごし方しかしてきませんでした。
が、海のアクティビティでこんなに素晴らしいものがあったとは！？
海の透明度は非常に高く、サンゴや魚たちがとっても鮮明にみられます。もう一度行きたい！
昔から神聖な場所であったケアラケクア湾、いまだに湾に入れる船は限られているとのこと。ツアー会社のスタッフは全員外人さんなので、日本語は通用しませんが特に問題はありませんでした。
ツアーの前後は、近くにあるショッピングセンターで過ごすこともできるので便利です。

午後からツアーの場合は、軽食がでるとありましたが、少量のスナックとカットフルーツだけなので、事前に腹ごしらえをしてから参加することをオススメします。
私たちは近くのケアウホウショッピングセンターにあるスーパーKTAでアヒ巻き（巻きすし）とスープを買ってベンチで食べてから行きました。帰りもそのショッピングセンターから極上のサンセットが見られます。

Reviewed by: vanilla

I participated in the afternoon BBQ tour on September 17. This was my first time on the tour to Kaneohe, and I had been a bit anxious since I had never had good weather before. However, the weather was really nice on the day of the tour. The water depth at the sandbar was about knee-deep (which is normal for this time of year), but the colors and clarity were truly beautiful. I wasn't expecting much from the staff's service or the BBQ, but both the variety and taste were of high quality for this type of tour. Snorkeling was optional. Knowing that there aren't many types or numbers of fish, we enjoyed the colors and clarity of the sea around the boat. Just swimming with goggles was fun! You can request a DVD for an additional fee. We were the only ones who ordered it, but I'm glad we did (the first photo I posted is one they took). It was $45. I think it's worth seeing the colors and clarity of the sea at least once. By the way, you can only see sea turtles from the boat, so if your goal is to see sea turtles, you might want to consider another tour.

9月17日に午後のBBQツアーに参加しました。カネオヘへのツアーは数回目でしたがこのツアーは初＆今まで天気に恵まれた事がなかったのでチョット不安。でも当日は本当にいい天気でした。サンドバーの水深は膝程（これはこの時期の普通だとか）でしたが、色と透明度は本当に美しかったです。スタッフの対応、BBQも期待していなかったのですが、種類、味共にこの手のツアーとしては質が高かったです。シュノケールは自由参加。もともとあまり魚の種類、数は多くないのを知っていたので、私達は船の回りで海の色と透明度を楽しんでいました。ゴーグルつけて泳いでるだけでも楽しいです！別料金でDVD作成が頼めます。頼んだのは私達だけでしたが頼んでヨカッタです（投稿写真1枚目は撮ってもらったものです）。＄４５でした。1度見ておいて損はない海の色と透明度だと思います。ちなみに海亀は船から見るだけなので、海亀目的ならば他のツアーがいいかも。

The color of the sea I've never seen before. 初めて見る海の色

Reviewed by: おやじギャグ

On September 15th (Monday), my spouse and I participated in the afternoon BBQ course. We became very interested after seeing a post on Alan1.net and decided to sign up.

On the day of the event, we were picked up on time, and after going to about four or five pickup locations, we had to wait for about 30 minutes at the last pickup spot, possibly due to a mix-up with other participants, but we departed safely. The driver seemed a bit irritated and didn’t say a word until we arrived, but there was a radio broadcast introducing the sandbar, featuring a lively young woman who enjoys entertaining participants.

After departing, there was an introduction of the crew, and the captain was a former sumo wrestler from the Higashi-Kan room who had to retire due to a serious injury. Our guide was Eri, who humorously referred to herself as the "Iijima Ai of Hawaii." She looked youthful and energetic, not at all like someone with a high school-aged child, and it turned out she was the same woman introduced on the radio.

We arrived at the sandbar in about 15 minutes, and the color of the sea was unlike anything I had ever seen, truly resembling "heavenly waters." We quickly entered the water and strolled along the sandbar. I thought walking over coral might be painful, but it felt just like walking on a sandy beach and was not bothersome at all. After about 30 minutes of walking, those who wished to participate could go snorkeling. When we moved to a depth of 20 meters, we could see various fish through our goggles.

When we returned to the boat, a barbecue was prepared to satisfy our hunger after all the activity. There was an all-you-can-eat option, and the amount provided was more than we could finish. The meat was tender and flavorful, and the foil-grilled asparagus was especially excellent.

After the meal, we set off for turtle watching. Eri guided us to a spot with a 99.9% guarantee of seeing turtles, and the boat was filled with excitement when we spotted them swimming.

I am grateful to Eri, who kept the atmosphere lively throughout the trip and didn’t mind my bad jokes. Thank you so much, Eri! This was my sixth visit to Hawaii, but I had no idea such a wonderful place existed. I definitely want to participate again next time.

９月１５日（月）午後のＢＢＱコースに夫婦で参加。Alan1.netの書き込みを見て大変興味がわいて申し込んだ。
当日は予定時間どおりにピックアップされ、その後４~５ヵ所ピックアップ場所を回ったが、最後のピックアップ場所で参加者との行き違いだったのか３０分程待たされたが無事出発。
ドライバーさんは、いらいらしていたのか着くまで一言も話さなかったが、車内のラジオでサンドバーを紹介したＦＭ放送が流され元気の良いお姉さんがいて参加者を楽しませるのが趣味との紹介もあった。
出港後現地に着く間クルーの紹介等があり、キャプテンは元
大相撲の東関部屋で力士の経験者で現役中に大怪我をしてやめたとの事。案内してくれるのはエリさんで自称ハワイの飯島愛と言う位で高校生のお子さんがいる年齢には見えない若々しく元気の良いお姉さんで、ラジオで紹介されたお姉さんはエリさんであることが判明。
１５分程でサンドバーに着くが、今まで見たことのない海の色で、まさに「天国の海」そのものである。
早速海に入りサンドバーを散歩するが、珊瑚の上を歩くという事で痛いかと思ったが海岸の砂浜のようにぜんぜん気にならない。約３０分程散歩の後、希望者はシュノーケリングに参加。深さ２０メートルの場所まで移動するといろいろな魚が眼鏡越しに見られる。
船に戻るとバーべキューが用意されており動いた後の空腹を満たしてくれる。当然食べ放題であるが、食べきれないほどの量が用意されている。肉も柔らかく味もそこそこで特にアスパラガスのホイル焼きは最高であった。
食事後は海がめウォッチングに出発。エリさんが９９．９％
保証付きの場所に案内されると海がめの泳ぐ姿に船内は騒然となった。
出港から戻るまで終始しゃべりどうしで船内を楽しませてくれたエリさんに感謝するとともに、私の駄洒落にもいやな顔せずつきあってくれたエリさん、本当にありがとうございました。
ハワイは今回で６度目ですが、こんな素晴らしい所があるとは知りませんでした。次回も是非参加したいと思います。

Reviewed by: ジャカランダ

I participated in the Fair Wind morning cruise. Above all, it was wonderful that they provided a "box snorkel" for someone like me who struggles with breathing through snorkel gear! It's the kind of equipment used for catching sea snails, with a box that has glass, allowing for excellent visibility of the crystal-clear underwater world. However, it seems that the number is limited, so I recommend expressing that you can't swim to get one! They also lent me a banana-shaped float to wear around my waist and a black inner tube, so there's absolutely no need to worry for those who are anxious about swimming. People of all ages, from small children to the elderly, were enjoying snorkeling.

In a calm bay with almost no waves, I was able to observe a wide variety of fish, and during lunchtime, we even encountered a pod of dolphins swimming offshore from the deck of the boat! Lucky people must have been able to swim quite close to them. They also film everything from boarding to underwater, so couples on their honeymoon might want to actively get filmed and purchase the DVD as a nice keepsake. I appreciated that the crew did not pressure for tips when disembarking. The clarity and calmness of the water are significantly better than at Hanauma Bay.

フェアウインドのモーニング・クルーズに参加しました。
何と言っても、シュノーケルギアで呼吸するのが苦手な私にとっては、「箱メガネ」のようなものを貸してくれる所が素晴らしい！さざえを捕るときの漁で使うようなもので、BOXにガラスが入っていて透明度抜群の海中が、ラクラク見通せます。ただし、数が限られているようなので、泳げないんです！と訴えてGETすることをお勧めします。腰に巻くバナナ型のフロートと、黒い浮き輪も貸してくれて、泳ぎに不安の
ある方でも全く心配ありません。小さな子供から、かなりの年配の方まで、シュノーケリングを楽しんでいました。
波がほとんどない穏やかな湾で、魚の種類も実に多く観察でき、ランチタイムには船のデッキから、沖を行くイルカの群れにも遭遇できました！ラッキーな人は、かなり近くを泳ぐことができたはずです。乗船時から水中まで、DVD撮影をしてくれますので、ハネムーンに来たカップルなどは積極的に映してもらってDVDを買うのも、良い記念になると思います。降りるときに、クルーの人たちがチップを強要しない所も好感がもてました。透明度と波の穏やかさは、ハナウマ湾より格段上です。

Paradise!! 楽園！！

Reviewed by: kota

We participated with our family at the end of August!

Among the many dolphin tours, we chose Private Dolphin Middle School because the start time was late and it seemed easy to enter the water with the speedboat. The lack of information about meal times made it seem like meeting dolphins and turtles was the primary goal. And our expectations were spot on! It’s rare for things to go just as you hope, but this plan allowed us to play to our heart's content☆

Now, about the dolphins, on the day I participated, we were able to swim with them while they were playing in the shallow waters. At first, they seemed to be in a group, but then they split into two. I stayed with the smaller group, and they swam leisurely while playing, coming so close that I could almost touch them if I reached out! However, when they decided to swim fast, they were incredibly quick, and it was over in an instant as they returned to the open sea.

I was completely satisfied to have swum with the dolphins! After that, we moved to the sea where the turtles live. Here, we experienced another amazing moment!!! Swimming with the turtles was also incredibly wonderful. In terms of relaxation, I might even think that turtles are more soothing than dolphins... I felt like I caught a glimpse of the Dragon Palace.

Even now (September 11), I’m still soaking in the wonderful experience. Even though I just returned, I’m already thinking about participating again if I visit! (*^_^*)

８月末に家族で参加しました！

数あるイルカツアーの中で、私立イルカ中学を選んだのは、開始時間が遅い事と、スピードボートでしかも海に入り易そうな形であった事。食事時間等が書いてなくイルカやかめに合う事が第一目的に思えた事でした。
そしてその予想は大的中！！思った通りって実は中々ないのですが、「こうだったらいいのになっ」と言うプランで、思う存分遊ばせて頂きました☆

さてさて、問題(笑)のイルカですが、私が参加した日も、浅瀬で遊んでいて、一緒に泳ぐ事が出来ました。
最初は、群れていたようですが、途中で二手に分かれました。私は少ないイルカについていたのですが、彼らは遊びながらゆったり泳いでくれて、手を伸ばせばあたっちゃう！と思うほどの距離まで近づく事もありました(*^_^*)
でもやはり本気になったら早い早い(笑)沖に戻って行くのはあっという間でした。

イルカと泳げた事で大満足！のうえ今度はカメを見に、カメのお家のある海まで移動。
ここでまた新たな感動が！！！カメと泳ぐ事もとってもとっても素敵です。癒しの要素で言えば、イルカよりもカメの方が断然上かもしれない・・・なんて思ってしまったりして☆
竜宮城を垣間見た気持ちになりました。

今（９月１１日）になっても、まだ余韻に浸るほどの、素晴らしさ。
また訪れたら絶対参加したいと、帰ったばかりなのにもう思ってます(*^_^*)

Following my visit to Mauna Kea in February, I signed up for this tour and it was a great decision. It seems that this location is not accessible to the general public, and when I asked locals, they mentioned they had participated several times with their families. There appear to be many repeat visitors. Although there is no Japanese support, it didn't pose any problems for us.

As for the meeting point, while the main map clearly indicates the location, it can be quite confusing, so I recommend allowing extra time to get there. We did a preliminary visit the day before.

The weather was good, and even so, snorkeling in the ocean felt like entering another world. Especially in the shallow areas, various tropical fish swam close enough to touch, which was truly moving. We also enjoyed diving from the slide, feeling like kids again.

However, in the shallow areas, be careful not to damage the coral and watch out for sea urchins. I accidentally touched a sea urchin and got a spine stuck in my finger, which was quite painful. It was difficult to remove. I was advised to wrap it with paper soaked in vinegar, which did help, but I felt it would be better to have preparations for removing spines on hand.

It's rare to find a tour that makes you want to participate again and again. I highly recommend it.

　2月のマウナケアに続き、こちらに申し込みましたが、大正解でした。ここは一般では行けない場所のようで、現地の方に聞いても家族で数回参加しているとのこと。リピータも多いようです。日本語対応ではありませんが、本旨には問題ありません。
　現地集合の場所ですが、主な地図には場所が明記されているものの結構迷いますから、時間には余裕を持って出かけたほうが良いと思います。私たちは前日に一度下見をしました。
　天気はよかったのですが、それでもシュノーケルをつけて見渡す海中は別世界。特に浅瀬では手が届くところに様々な熱帯魚が泳ぎ回り、感動ものです。滑り台からのダイブも、二人で童心に返って楽しみました。
　ただ、浅瀬ではサンゴを傷つけないよう、またウニに注意です。私は知らずにウニに触ってしまい、棘が指に刺さって痛い思いをしました。なかなか抜けないのです。酢を浸した紙で包んでおくと浮き出してくると教わり、実際そうだったのですが、刺抜き等の準備はしておいていただいた方が、とは感じました。

　何度でも参加したくなるツアーはそうありません。お奨めです。

イルカ中学　野生のイルカ＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ！＜少人数制／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可／日本語／ランチ付き＞

There are many dolphins♪ イルカが沢山♪

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

At 6 AM, a bus came to pick us up, and after about an hour of dozing off while swaying, we got ready and boarded the boat. As we set off, just a little offshore, we already spotted dolphins! After a few more minutes of traveling, we discovered a pod of dolphins!

Participants jumped into the sea one after another, wearing masks and fins, and we could hear the dolphins' calls. Although the dolphins were faster and kept a bit of distance, it was my first time desperately chasing after a dolphin swimming right below me. It was completely different from the dolphins at an aquarium and definitely worth seeing.

It might be a good idea to bring a larger bath towel. The water temperature was a bit low in the morning, and while the boat ride was fun and fast, it was cold on the way back. The snack set provided in a bag was very tasty and came in handy.

In the afternoon, we headed out to the North Shore and enjoyed the Tantalus night view.

朝６時台にバスでお迎えが来て、うとうとと揺られること１時間程。
準備をして船に乗り、さあ出発！と船が動き出してちょっと沖に出るともうイルカが！ここは見るだけで更に走ること数十分。イルカの群れを発見！
マスクを付けて、フィンも付けて参加者が次々に海に飛び込むと、イルカの鳴き声が聞こえて来ました。
一緒に泳ぐ、といってもイルカの方が速いし、距離はちょっと離れてたけど、自分のすぐ下を泳いで行くイルカに必死になって追いすがるなんて初めて♪
水族館のイルカとは全く違うし、一見の価値ありです。
大き目のバスタオルを持参した方がいいかも。水温は朝だからちょっと低いし、ボートはスピードがあって楽しいけど
帰りは寒かったな。
バッグ毎くれた軽食セットがとてもおいしく重宝しました。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We were able to see a variety of fish and sea turtles, and my child was very satisfied. The guide took us quite far out, which would have been impossible to do on our own. They even helped pull me along with my 9-year-old child. The waves were strong, and I felt a bit seasick, but it was fun.

　かなり色々な種類の魚やウミガメが見られて子供も大満足でした。結構沖のほうまでガイドさんが連れていってくれたのですが、自力ではまず無理でしょう。9歳の子供とともに私まで引っ張っていってくれました。波の勢いもあり、私は船酔い状態でしたが、楽しかったです。

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＞

Experience the powerful threat of Kilauea. キラウエアの脅威のパワーを実感

Reviewed by: MARUKO

We participated as a family of four (with children aged 2 and 0). The seating is assigned by the pilot based on the weight of all passengers to maintain the stability of the helicopter, so there’s no guarantee you’ll get a window seat. The pilot speaks in English, so you’ll understand the names of the areas, but if you’re not confident in English, just enjoy the scenery. The ride is smooth, with hardly any turbulence.

The lava flow varies in volume and direction depending on the day, so whether you get to see a spectacular lava flow is a matter of luck. The biggest appeal of the helicopter is that it can get very close to areas that are absolutely inaccessible from land, which is a different level of excitement compared to a Cessna.

If you decide to participate, I recommend going in the morning when the weather is relatively stable, as it tends to rain in the afternoon in Hilo. On a clear day, you can see Mt. Mauna Loa up close and Mt. Mauna Kea in the distance.

During the flight, the scenery and our moments are filmed by the helicopter's onboard camera, and you can purchase the DVD afterward as a travel memory (around $25). This is an experience you can't have in Japan, so if you're staying on the Big Island, definitely give it a try. (However, I wouldn’t recommend bringing a 0-year-old along...)

家族4人（子供2歳・0歳の）で参加しました。座席はパイロットがヘリの安定を保つため全搭乗者の体重を考えて指定されるので窓側に座れるとは限りません。
　パイロットの話す言語は英語なので、各エリアの名前程度は分かりますが英語が苦手な方は景色を楽しんで下さい。乗り心地は良く、揺れもほとんどありません。
　ラバフローは日によって流れ出る量や方角が異なるので、迫力あるラバフローが見られるかどうかは運次第です。
　ヘリの最大の魅力は陸上からは絶対に近づけないエリアに低高度でかなり至近距離に迫れるので、セスナ機とでは迫力が違います。
　参加するなら天候の比較的安定している午前中のなるべく早い時間帯がおすすめです。ヒロは多雨地帯なので午後は雨に降られる確立が高いとのことです。快晴だと、間近にMt.マウナロアを、遠くにMt．マウナケアを見ることができます。
　飛行中の景色や自分達の様子はヘリ搭載のビデをカメラでフルタイム撮影されていて、終了後ＤＶＤとして旅の思い出に是非買って下さい（＄２５程度）。
　日本では出来ない体験なので、ハワイ島に滞在したら是非体験して下さい。（ただし０歳児を一緒に搭乗させることはさすがにおすすめはできません・・・）

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＞

For first-timers! I highly recommend it!! 初めての方！ぜひぜひおすすめです！！

Reviewed by: tana

Since I'm going to Hawaii, I wanted to go snorkeling! Since it was my first time snorkeling, I thought it would be best to have a guide, so my family of three joined this tour, even though the price was a bit high.

My first choice was in the morning, but since I signed up at the last minute, we ended up going in the afternoon. First, we were picked up right in front of our hotel by our instructor, Alan. We headed to Hanauma Bay with another group of six.

When we arrived at the entrance of Hanauma Bay, we met up with a newlywed American couple, and Alan collected the entrance fee of $5 for those over 12 years old and paid it all at once. While we watched a nine-minute movie, he prepared everything in front of the trolley that goes down the slope, allowing us to smoothly access the sandy beach.

Since there were a lot of people this time, Alan assigned the newlyweds to one instructor, while Kiko and Aki, both Japanese instructors, took care of us Japanese participants.

They provided all the necessary equipment, including life jackets, mats, and a place to store valuables (you could also put in clothes and towels), and they even had water and some snacks ready.

The others were very skilled (sorry for being a bother), and I, who had no confidence in swimming, honestly thought during practice, "Should I just wait on the beach?" But Kiko encouraged me, saying, "Come on, put your head in the water!!" and patiently taught me how to use the fins, even holding my hand to help me see a lot of fish! I'm glad I didn't give up!!

"Everyone, come here~"
They showed us the viewpoint, and we were able to see sea turtles.

It lasted about an hour, which was enough time for me, as I tend to get cold easily. When Aki told me how far we swam from above the trolley station, I was surprised to find it was quite far. Alan said, "Everyone did well today. That's why we could go far." (Of course, he said this in Japanese.)

I actually considered a tour from a major travel company that was about the same price, but they mentioned that the instructors wouldn't manage valuables or guide us. To go far and to be shown viewpoints, having a guide is definitely better.

One regret I have is that I didn't bring my camera to prevent theft. I heard that in summer, the water tends to get murky, making it hard to take good underwater photos, but I wanted to take a commemorative photo with the beautiful bay in the background. Since there was a place to store valuables, I should have brought it.

せっかくハワイに行くのだから，シュノーケリングがしたい！初めてのシュノーケリングなので，お値段は高めですがガイドが必要だろうと親子３人でこのツアーに参加しました。

第１希望は朝だったのですが，ぎりぎりに申し込んだので午後からの回でした。
まずは，ホテルの前でインストラクターのAlanさん直々にピックアップ。もう一組の６名と一緒にハナウマ湾へ。

ハナウマ湾の入り口に着くとアメリカ人の新婚さんとも合流して１２歳以上の入場料＄５をAlanさんが集めて，まとめて払ってくれました。我々が約９分間の映画を見ている間に坂を下りるトロリーの前で準備してくれていて，スムーズに砂浜へ。

今回は人数が多かったので，Alanさんは新婚さんに，我々を含む日本人には，日本人のインストラクターのキコさんとアキさんがついてくれました。

ライフジャケットを含め用具＆ゴザ＆貴重品入れ（着替え，タオルなども入れるのも可）もしっかり用意されていて，水とちょっとしたお菓子も用意されていました。

他の方達はとても上手で（ご迷惑かけてすみません），泳ぎに全然自信がない私は，うまく息継ぎができなくて練習の時に「浜で待っていようか」と正直思いましたが，キコさんに「ほらっ頭つけて！！」と叱咤されてがんばり，うまくフィンが使えない私に根気よく教えてくれたり，手を引いてくれたりして魚をたくさん見ることができました！あきらめなくてよかった！！

「みんなここへおいで~」
とビューポイントを教えてくれて，ウミガメも見ることができました。

約１時間でしたが，冷え性の私には十分な時間。トロリーの発着場の上からアキさんにどこまで泳いだか教えてもらったら，かなり遠くまででびっくり。Alanさんは，「今日はみんなうまかったネ。だから遠くへ行けたよ。（もちろん日本語で）」と言ってくれました。

実際に某大手旅行会社の同じぐらいの値段のツアーも検討しましたが，インストラクターは貴重品の管理もガイドもしてくれないとのこと。遠くまで行ったり，ビューポイントを教えてもらうには，絶対ガイド付きがいいです。

後悔したことは，盗難防止のために持って行かなかったカメラ。夏は水が濁りやすいらしく，水中写真はうまく撮れないそうですが，きれいな湾をバックに記念写真を撮りたかった。貴重品入れがあるから，持っ

Encounter with a big fish. ビッグフィッシュに遭遇

Reviewed by: miki

I participated with my child in late August 2008. It was clear that they were considerate in their conversations during the car ride.

We met up with two more participants along the way, making a total of four of us heading to Hanauma Bay. After watching a video about Hanauma Bay, we took a trolley down. At the beach, we received equipment instructions, put on life jackets, and stepped into the slightly cold water. We practiced in shallower areas after a preliminary lecture. I already felt a bit out of place at this point. I held onto someone’s hand as we headed out.

There they were! Fish were swimming around normally, including some large ones over 50 centimeters long.

Unfortunately, we didn’t encounter any turtles, but it was clear they were trying hard to find them. With the underwater camera I brought, they actively took pictures of us and the fish.

You can manage valuables and changes of clothes in a large locked case. They even let me put in the slippers I wore. Mats and equipment are all available for rent. We received water and snacks at the end.

You can change clothes easily afterward, so I think it’s a good idea to bring some.

As a note, my underwater goggles didn’t seem to fit well, and water kept getting in, making me accidentally drink saltwater, which was quite uncomfortable. While all equipment is available for rent, it might be better to bring your own if you have something that fits perfectly.

We swam quite far out for about an hour. The water was pretty cold, and I was shivering afterward. A bath towel and a long-sleeved cover-up are essential.

For those who really want to see turtles, a tour to the North Shore might be better. We encountered turtles on the beach two days later on a different tour.

That said, for beginners, this tour offers hands-on guidance from start to finish, so I think it would be fun to go with friends.

　2008年8月下旬に親子で参加しました。
　車内で会話にも気を使ってくださっているのがよくわかりました。

　途中で2名と合流し、計4名の参加者でハナウマ湾へ。
　ハナウマ湾のビデオを見て、トローリーで下ります。
　浜で用具の説明を受け、救命胴衣を装着し、ちょっぴり冷たい水の中へ。
　さらに浅いところで、事前のレクチャーと予行演習。
　ここですでに落ちこぼれ感のあった私。
　手を握ってもらって、沖へ向かいます。

　いたいた！
　ふつーに魚たちが泳いでいます。体長が50センチ以上ある大きなものもいます。
　
　残念ながらカメには遭遇できませんでしたが、一生懸命探してくださっているのはわかりました。私が持っていった水中カメラで、私達や魚を積極的に写してもらえました。

　貴重品や着替えの管理などは、大きな鍵付きのケースでお願いできます。履いて行ったスリッパまで入れてもらいました。
　ゴザや用具類は一切レンタル。
　水とスナック菓子を最後にもらいました。

　終わってからの簡単な着替えは可能ですから、洋服を持っていくとよいと思います。

　注意点として、私の水中メガネがどうも合わなかったようで、水がよく入って塩水を飲んでしまったりして、途中とっても苦しくなりました。　
　用具は全て貸してはもらえますが、自分にぴったりのがあれば、それを持って行ったほうがいいのかもしれません。

　かなり沖へ向かい、一時間ほど泳ぎます。
　水もかなり冷たいので、あがってからは震えが出るほどでした。
　バスタオルや長そでの羽織るものは必須です。

　「どうしてもカメを見たい」という人は、ノースショアに行くのツアーのほうがいいかもしれません。
　私たちは二日後に、別のツアーで、砂浜に上がっているカメに出会うことができました。

　とはいえ、初心者の人は、手取り足取り教えてもらえるし、最初から最後まで安心して過ごせるツアーなので、友達同士で行くと、楽しいと思いますよ。
