This is a MUST do for EVERYONE! We loved it so much we took TWO snuba trips! Sitting on the ocean floor in Turtle Town with two HUGE turtles was fantastic! We had been on several boats during our visit and the crew on this trip was the BEST! We can't wait to see the photos! Mahala and a hui hou!

Kaanapali Deluxe Snorkeling Cruise with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks - Trilogy

Trilogy Snorkel Dolphin Experience

Reviewed by: BoiseNP

My husband, 7 year old daughter and I attended the Trilogy Snorkel Cruise - Maui Discover Ka'anapali on Tuesday Aug 12th 2008.
We have both been snorkelers/divers since college in the early 90's, and were very happy with the tour.
The staff was professional, friendly, and full of history and knowledge of the area. The food was amazing, better than many of the restaurants on the island!
The first stop was incredible, lots of fish, coral and turtles. Our second stop was just around the corner but we were greeted by a pod of ~100 dolphins as we anchored. Lucky for us they stayed nearby and allowed us to swim toward them. Then amazingly they surrounded us and wild dolphins were everywhere, below us, to the sides, in front and behind. Swimming, jumping, and diving within an arms reach! This was truely a once in a lifetime experience and I am thankful to Trilogy for their care towards the environment and sincere connection with the sea.

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>

It was really great. すごく良かったです。

Reviewed by: atsuko

We participated with three adults and one child. Unfortunately, we didn't see any turtles, but I was very moved to see fish swimming within reach. Our child, who is four years old, was scared and didn't want to go into the water because he couldn't breathe well underwater, but our guide, Alan, carried him on his back, so we felt safe even when we went out to the open water. My mother also enjoyed her first snorkeling experience while holding onto Alan. The transportation from the hotel to Hanauma Bay was helpful, and once we arrived, the thorough explanations of the equipment by the guide made us feel secure and allowed us to enjoy the experience.

大人3人、子供1人で参加しました。
亀は残念ながら見れませんでしたが、魚が手の届く範囲に泳いでるのを見れてとても感動しました。
子供は4歳で海の中で呼吸がうまくできず怖がって海に入りたがりませんでしたが、ガイドのアランさんが背中に乗せてくれたので、沖まで出ても安心でした。
母も、アランさんにつかまりながら初めてのシュノーケリングを楽しめました。
ホテルからハナウマ湾への送迎も助かり、現地に着いてからも器具の説明など丁寧なガイドで始終安心して楽しめました。

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>

I have been swimming with dolphins every year lately. このところ毎年イルカと泳いでいる。

Reviewed by: あんどう

Shortly after setting sail, we received news of dolphins! Although there were only a few, it was touching to see a mother and her baby swimming closely together (nursing?). When we hurried to chase them, they quickly swam away, but when we swam slowly, we could see their relaxed姿 up close. Later, at the turtle house we visited, there were about five or six sea turtles of various sizes resting, and they would occasionally come up for air, getting so close that we had to dodge to avoid bumping into them. For those who have never snorkeled before, practicing a bit beforehand will make the experience even more enjoyable. If anyone is heading to Hawaii, I highly recommend this tour.

 出航して早々にイルカ出現!の報せ。数は少なかったが親子で寄り添って(授乳?)泳ぐ姿が見られて感動。あせって追いかけると向こうも速いスピードで逃げていくけれど、ゆったりと泳ぐと彼らのリラックスした姿も間近に見られる。そのあと観にいった亀ハウスには大小5~6頭のウミガメが休んでいて、時々息継ぎに浮かんでくると急接近してぶつからないようにこっちが身をかわすほどだった。シュノーケリングをしたことがない人は、少しでも練習してから行くとより楽しめる。これからハワイに行く人がいたら、ぜひすすめたいツアーだ。

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>

I got to see dolphins and sea turtles!! イルカと海亀に会えた!!

Reviewed by: ちい

The day before, my husband was down with a sunburn, so I participated alone, but the staff and the other participants were all warm and friendly, which made it enjoyable.

I was a bit anxious because I had severe seasickness during the shark tour the day before, but this tour's boat felt like a rafting boat, allowing us to enjoy a bit of thrill while heading out to sea. I didn't feel sick at all and had a great time.

There were so many dolphins swimming right in front of us, jumping around, and I was so excited! This time, the dolphins were swimming really fast... I wished they would swim a bit slower... The staff lamented, but when we timed it right and jumped into the water, there were so many dolphins swimming below us! It was incredibly moving.

I dove three times and saw dolphins each time. For the fourth dive, we went to a sea turtle spot. The turtles were swimming leisurely right nearby! They came close enough that I could reach out and touch them. I think there were about six of them. It was very mystical.

When I told my husband about it, he regretted not being able to join. I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii! I will be a repeat customer! Thank you very much.

 前日に旦那が日焼けでダウンし、1人での参加となったのでうが、スタッフはもちろん参加していた方達も温かい方達ばかりだったので、楽しく参加できました。
 前々日にサメツアーに参加した時、船酔いがひどかったので少し不安はあったのですが、このツアーのボートはラフテリングボートのような感じで少しスリルを味わいながら海に出たので、全然酔わずに、楽しかったです。
 イルカが目の前でたくさん泳いでいてジャンピングしている姿に大興奮!今回はイルカの泳ぐスピードが早い…もっとゆっくり泳いで~…とスタッフが嘆いていたのですが、タイミングと場所を見計らってドボンッと海の中へ入ると、下にいっぱいイルカが泳いでいる!!大感激でした。
 3回ダイブして全部イルカが見れました。
 4回目には海亀スポットへ。悠々と泳いでいる姿がすぐそこに!手を伸ばせばすぐ触れるぐらいの所まで海亀がきてくれました。6匹ぐらいはいたと思います。とても神秘的でした。
 旦那にも話をすると行けなかった事をすごく悔やんでいました。また次にハワイに行ったらぜひ参加したいと思います!!リピーターになります!!
 ありがとうございました。

カイルアビーチ送迎シャトルサービス 嬉しい5時間滞在!ビーチグッズなど各種レンタル付き<日本語スタッフ/ランチ付>

I was moved by the beauty of the ocean. 海の美しさに感動

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I always enjoyed playing at Waikiki Beach, but we decided to try Kailua, which is said to be "the number one beach in the U.S." We went with low expectations. However, as soon as we arrived, I was captivated by the blue of the ocean and was absolutely thrilled. I had heard that it could be windy, but when we went in December, there was hardly any wind and the sea was calm. I even thought, "I want to live here forever." We all decided that we would definitely come to Kailua every year.

いつもワイキキのビーチで満足して遊んでいましたが、「全米ナンバー1のビーチ」というカイルアにいてみようという話になり、あまりに期待しないでいきました。しかし、着いたとたん、その海の青さのとりこになり、もう大感激。風が強いと聞いていましたが、12月にいったのですが、風はほとんどなく穏やかな海でした。「もうずっとここに住みたい」とまで思いました。毎年絶対にカイルアに来ようと家族全員で決めました。

A Great Day

Reviewed by: Sadiej

Captain Chris and his crew took care to make sure every passenger was looked after and made to feel at home. Watching the sun come up on the Na Pali coast was spectacular and the snorkeling spot was to die for.
The water can be rough so take precautions for sea sickness.
This was a great trip. I personally didn't need to have the "Forbidden Isle" portion. It's forbidden because you can't go anywhere near it.
All said though - a very good trip!

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

It was a pleasant tour! 気持ち良いツアーでした!

Reviewed by: ALOHA娘

My husband and I participated together. Since it was a tour without a Japanese guide, we were the only Japanese participants, but we received a Japanese guide (notices, etc.) during check-in, so as long as you have some experience with snorkeling and can communicate in English to some extent, you can enjoy it without any problems!

It was an afternoon tour, and we were blessed with good weather. The boat trip to the Captain Cook monument was very pleasant (my husband did feel a bit seasick, though...). We saw a lot of fish, and we were very satisfied to see a large turtle at the start of the trip.

Also, it was appealing that it was a tour without transportation since we had rented a car. However, I think it would be tough without a rental car. The parking was vaguely marked as Keauhou Bay, so I was a bit unsure about where it was, but when we actually went, a kind local man helped us out, so it wasn't a problem!

This is one of the tours I would like to join again if I have the time.

ダンナと2人で参加しました。日本語ガイドがないツアーのため日本人参加者は我々だけでしたが、チェックイン時に日本語のガイド(注意書きなど)が渡されるので、あとはシュノーケルツアーに参加したことがある方、少しでも英語でコミュニケーションがとれる方であれば問題なく楽しめます!
午後からのツアーでしたが、天気にも恵まれ、キャプテンクック碑まで行く船旅もとても気持ちよかったです。(ダンナは若干船酔していましたが・・・)
魚もたくさん見れましたし、出発時には大きなカメも見れて大満足です。
また、レンタカーを借りていたので送迎なしツアーであったことも魅力でした。ただ、レンタカーなしの場合は厳しいと思います。駐車場はケアウホウ湾とおおまかに記されていたので若干どこかな~と思いましたが、実際に行ったら近所のおじさんが親切に教えてくれたので問題なかったです!
時間があればまた参加したいツアーのひとつです。

It became a great memory. いい思い出になりました。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated in an afternoon cruise. We were looking forward to swimming with the fish, and it was a wonderful experience. There were many colorful fish around the coral reef, and it felt like we were swimming in an aquarium.

The day we participated was cloudy, so perhaps because of that, the seawater was colder than we expected, and I was a bit surprised when I first entered the water. However, once in the sea, I had such a great time that I forgot about the cold. The cruise and snorkeling created very lovely memories. Next time, I definitely want to meet dolphins.

私たちは午後のクルーズに参加しました。魚たちと一緒に泳ぐのを楽しみにいきましたのでとてもいい経験をしました。サンゴ礁の周りにはたくさん、色とりどりの魚がいて、水槽の中を泳いでいるようでした。
参加した日は、曇りだったからなのか、海水が思ったより冷たく、最初は海に入る時は少しビックリしました。しかし、海の中では冷たさを忘れるくらい楽しい時間をすごせました。クルーズして、スノーケリングできて、とても素敵な思い出となりました。今度は是非、イルカにも会いたいです。

Reviewed by: マナティ

I participated in the Trilogy tour for the first time, and the boat ride was comfortable. The captain and other staff were friendly and fun, making for a very enjoyable experience. The BBQ lunch was delicious, and the Diet Coke I had after a long time felt refreshing.

If I had to mention something, the captain explained the history of Molokini Island and the second point we visited (maybe along the coast of Kihei), but my wife and I only speak broken English, so we couldn't understand anything, which was disappointing. It would be great if there were a tour in Japanese.

On the bright side, we did get to see a green sea turtle, and we returned to the harbor while relaxing and taking photos with the sails up, which added to our wonderful memories.

初めてトリロジーのツアーに参加しましたが、船での移動も快適だし、キャプテンほかスタッフも親しみ易く楽しい人たちで、とても楽しく過ごせました。昼のBBQランチもうまかったし、久しぶりに飲んだダイエットcokeも新鮮でした。
しいていえば、モロキニ島や2度目に行ったポイント(キヘイの沿岸かな)の歴史などをキャプテンが説明してくれたのだけれど、僕ら夫婦は片言英語しかできないので、まったく理解できなかったのが残念です。日本語のツアーがあるといいんだけれど。
一応、アカウミガメにも会えたし、セイルを張ってのんびりと写真など撮りながら帰港したなど、いい思い出が増えました。

My elementary school daughters had a lot of fun too! ♪ 小学生の娘達もたくさん楽しめました~♪

Reviewed by: SATO家

I participated in a tour on July 8th. For my fifth and third-grade daughters, it was their first overseas trip, and amidst some anxiety, we finally got to meet wild dolphins, which had been our dream!

After reading various comments, I decided on this optional tour, but I had many concerns about whether my children, who had never snorkeled before, would really enjoy it... However, I called ahead to confirm, and their kind response put my mind at ease. We made sure to get enough sleep the night before, and with preparations like motion sickness medication, sunscreen, and measures against the cold after getting out of the water, the kids didn't feel burdened. We practiced snorkeling at Waikiki Beach the day before.

The staff taught us how to prevent fogging on the snorkels, how to put them on, and when to wear them, and since we wore life vests in the water, there was no worry about drowning.

On July 8th, we first snorkeled in a spot where colorful fish gathered, and we even encountered a turtle there. I was surprised that while snorkeling, my younger daughter was casually saying, "Ah! A turtle! Gill! Dory! Bubbles!" (Has she watched FINDING NEMO too much??). When we moved to the turtle point, a strangely-shaped turtle was swimming quite close to us. There was only one, but it seems my daughters touched its shell... Later, I told them, "You shouldn't touch it because it won't come back to the point." I'm sorry.

At the point where the dolphin pod was gathered, many boats were clustered. We entered the water while observing the dolphins and other boats to avoid startling them, and then we desperately but quietly followed the dolphins. Dolphins are graceful but swim so fast! (Of course, they do...) My younger daughter told me, "Mom! Swim faster!"

Next time we join a tour, she says her goal is not just to chase after the dolphins but to play with them as well.

Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful time. SATO's mother.

7月8日にツアーに参加しました。
5年生と3年生の娘たちにとっては初めての海外旅行で不安の中、念願の野生のイルカとの対面を果たしました!

いろいろな方のコメントを読み、このオプショナルに決めましたが、シュノーケル未体験の子供たちが本当に楽しめるのか沢山の不安が・・・
でも、出発前に電話をして確認し、親切な対応に一安心。
前の日に睡眠をとっていて、酔い止めや日焼け止めや海からあがってからの寒さ対策などの用意があれば子供たちに負担はかかりませんでしたよ。ウチはシュノーケルは前日にワイキキビーチで練習しました。
スタッフの方がシュノーケルのくもり止めやくもらないつけ方・着けるタイミングなども教えてくれますし、海での中ではベスト着用ですので、溺れる心配はありません。

7月8日は・・まず色とりどりの魚の集まる場所でシュノーケル、ここでカメにも出会いました。
シュノーケルしてるのに下の娘が「あ゛っ~カメ!ギル!ドリー!バブルス!がいる!!」(FINDING NIMOの観すぎ??)と普通にしゃべっているのにも驚きました。
カメのポイントに移動すると甲羅の歪なカメが相当近くで泳いでいました。一匹でしたが娘たちは甲羅に触ったらしく・・後で「ポイントに来なくなるから触ったらいけないよ」と伝えました。ごめんなさい。
イルカ集団が集まっているポイントにはたくさんの船が集まっていました。
イルカを刺激しないようにイルカと他の船との様子をうかがっての入水、その後は必死にでも静かにイルカの姿を追いました。イルカって優雅だけど泳ぐの速い!(そりゃそうだけど・・)下の娘に「ママ!速く泳いで!」と注意されました。
次回ツアーに参加するときにはイルカの姿を追って泳ぐだけでなく、イルカたちと戯れたいのが目標だそうです。

スタッフの皆様、楽しい時間をありがとうございました。SATO母

The world of the sea in the South Islands. 南島の海の世界

Reviewed by: Andy

I participated in the "Fair Wind Cruises - Kealakekua Bay Snorkeling" tour on June 21. It seems that the southern part of the Big Island often has cloudy weather, and this time was no exception, with a bit of cloudiness. However, taking a peek underwater revealed a completely different world! Tropical and colorful little fish were swimming joyfully. The combination of bright blue water with yellow, orange, red, and blue colors was absolutely beautiful. And then, there was a massive migration of gray fish! It felt like a dream. On the way back on the boat, as the speed picked up, a pod of dolphins swam playfully right alongside us, almost like companions. I don't think there are many opportunities to see wild dolphins up close like this. You'll create wonderful memories!

6月21日の”フェアウインド・クルーズ - ハワイ島ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング”ツアーに参加してきました。ハワイ島の南の方は曇りが多いようで、今回もやや曇りぎみでした。ところが、海の中を一目覗くと全くの別世界!トロピカルでカラフルな可愛い魚たちが、楽しげに泳いでます。明るい水色の中に、黄色やオレンジ、赤やブルーの色のコンビネーションがとてもキレイでした。そして、グレーの魚の大群の大移動!夢のようでした。帰りの船でのこと、船のスピードが出てきたところに、イルカの群れがぴったり横に張り付いて仲間のように楽しげに泳いでました。こんなに近くで野生のイルカを見れる機会はそうないと思います。良い思い出が作れますよ。

You should definitely try Fair Wind Cruises. 行ってみるべしフェアウインドクルーズ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in an afternoon snack cruise on June 28. At first, I was worried about my companion getting seasick, but that concern was completely unnecessary. I had been on several other cruises before, but this one felt like it had the least amount of rocking. The ocean was beautiful as well. It was my first time seeing a coral reef up close like that. If you're going to Hawaii, that ocean is a must-see.

Before snorkeling, the captain gave a fairly long explanation and safety briefing, but it felt responsible and trustworthy. Even so, we had a full two hours to snorkel. The staff was very well-mannered and kind, which made for a very pleasant experience.

On the way back, I dozed off while enjoying the view of the Big Island from the boat, feeling the pleasant fatigue from snorkeling and the sea breeze. I didn't get to see any dolphins, but next time, I plan to wake up early and join a morning cruise, which has a higher chance of encountering dolphins.

6月28日にアフタヌーンスナッククルーズに参加しました。まずは同行者の船酔いが心配だったのですがそんな心配は全くいりませんでした。
他のクルーズには何回か参加した事があったのですがいままでで一番揺れが少なかったと感じました。
海もきれいでしたよ。あんなにまじかにさんご礁を見たのははじめてでした。せっかくハワイに行ったならあの海は必見です。シュノーケリングの前に船長の説明と注意事項が結構長くありましたがそれも責任ある仕事って感じがして信頼できました。それでもたっぷり2時間はシュノーケルできましたよ。スッタフもとても行儀良く親切なのでとても気持ち良く楽しむことができました。
帰りは船の上からハワイ島の景色を見ながらシュノーケリングの心地よい疲れと海風でうたた寝してしまいました。
イルカは見ることはできませんでしたが次回は早起きしてイルカの遭遇率の高いモーニングクルーズに参加しようと思います。

I went on a Fair Wind Cruise. フェアウインドクルーズに行ってきました。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in the afternoon cruise. I wasn't sure where the meeting place, Fair Wind's office, was, so I showed my reservation to the staff in the lobby of the condo where I stayed (Kona by the Sea) and they helped me with directions on a simple map. I can't speak English, but they wrote down how to get there, so I was able to find it without getting lost. It's better to leave a bit earlier, though.

Before departure, I went to the restroom and noticed several awards for Hawaii tours hanging carelessly along the hallway. Gold award? Silver award? They've been receiving them every year, and for the past three years, they've mostly been gold awards. They seem to be quite established. But you won't know until you experience it.

I had previously participated in a tour on a small boat on the Big Island and had a bad experience due to the rough waves, so I was a bit worried. Once on board, all the staff's names were displayed, and the captain was Mr. Hiromoto. I wondered if he was of Japanese descent, which made me feel a bit more at ease. After departure, I felt even more reassured. There was hardly any rocking—rather, it was a pleasant sway. The beauty of the ocean was absolutely perfect. On the way back, it's a good idea to bring something to keep warm, as your body might get cold.

午後からのクルーズに参加しました。
集合場所のフェアウインドのオフィイスがよく分からなかったので宿泊したコンド(コナバイザシー)のロビーの人に予約票を見せて場所を教えてもらいました。英語はできませんが簡単な地図に行きかたを書いてくれたので迷わず行けました。でも少し早めに出かけたほうがいいですね。
出発前にトイレに行ったら途中の廊下にハワイのツアーに贈られる表彰状が無造作に何枚も掛けてありました。金賞?銀賞?毎年もらってるんだなーここ3年は金賞ばかりでした。
結構、老舗なのね。でも体験してみないとわからんぞー。
以前ハワイ島で小さな船で行くツアーに参加してあまりの揺れに体調が悪くなった経験がありちょっと心配だったのです。乗船するとスッタフ全員の名前が表示してありキャプテンはHIROMOTOさんでした。日系の方かしら?ちょっと安心。出発してもっと安心しました。揺れほとんどない?

I recently participated with my wife. It was our first time, and I was nervous, but we got to see many dolphins, turtles, and colorful fish, which was a lot of fun. Thank you very much!

My wife wanted to swim with dolphins in Hawaii, so we decided to join a tour, but I wasn't confident in my swimming skills...

So, I desperately searched through various dolphin experience tours by reading testimonials and participant blogs to find the best option.

- Safe for beginners and those who are not good at swimming
- Japanese-speaking staff
- Friendly staff
- Opportunity to meet dolphins

After actually participating in this private dolphin school, my wife was thrilled to meet many dolphins, and thanks to the staff, my nervousness eased, and I was very satisfied.

Since we haven't participated in other tours, I can't compare, but my wife and I are glad we chose this tour.

Thank you very much!!

スタッフの皆さん、こんにちは。

先日、夫婦で参加させていただいた者です。
初めての参加で緊張していたのですが、
たくさんのイルカや亀、色とりどりの
魚にも会え、とても楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました!

ハワイでイルカと泳ぎたいという妻の希望で
ツアーに参加しようと決めたのですが、
僕は泳ぎに自信がありません・・・

そこで、数あるイルカ体験ツアーから、
体験談や参加者のブログなどを読み、
どこが良いか必死に探しました。

・初めてでも、泳ぎが苦手でも安心
・日本語が話せる
・スタッフの感じが良さそう
・イルカと会えそう

実際に、この私立イルカ中学に参加してみて、
たくさんのイルカに会えた妻も大喜びで、
泳ぎが苦手な僕もスタッフのおかげで、
緊張がほぐれ、大満足でした。

他のツアーに参加したことがないので、
比べようもないのですが、僕たち夫婦は
このツアーに決めて良かった思っています。

ありがとうございました!!

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

The Fairwind Cruise was fun. 楽しかったフェアウインド・クルーズ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We went on the Fair Wind Cruises' Kealakekua Bay snorkeling afternoon tour as a family. I was hesitant to book the cruise due to concerns about the weather, but it turned out to be the right decision. On June 28, the day we participated, it was cloudy in the morning, but as the boat set off, the skies gradually cleared. We spent four days on the Big Island, and it didn't rain at all.

Once we arrived at Captain Cook, we enjoyed snorkeling for a full two hours. The water clarity was excellent. There were plenty of fish, and the coral reefs were very beautiful. Above all, the staff was incredibly kind (they must have good employee training), and when I, lacking confidence in swimming, hesitated, they offered me a box with a glass bottom to use. With this, I could see underwater very well without having to put my face in the water. They also provided life jackets and floaties. I definitely want to participate again when I come back to the Big Island.

フェアウインド・クルーズ のケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング午後からのツアーへ家族で行ってきました。
お天気を気にしてクルーズの申し込みを迷っていましたが申し込んで正解でした。私達が参加した6月28日は朝から曇りでしたが船が出発するとだんだん晴れてきました。ハワイ島に4日間いましたが雨らしいものは降りませんでした。
キャプテンクックに到着してたっぷり2時間はシュノーケリングを楽しみました。海の透明度はすごく良かったです。
お魚もたくさんいましたし、さんご礁もとてもきれいでした。なによりスタッフがとても親切(きっと社員教育ができているんでしょう)で泳ぎに自信のない私に「これ使う?」と箱の底がガラスになったものを貸してくれました。
これを使うと顔を水につけなくても海の中がすごく良く見えました。もちろんライフジャケットや浮き輪まで貸してくれましたよ。今度ハワイ島に来る時も是非参加したいです。

I went to Fair Wind Cruises! 行ってきました!フェアウインド・クルーズ

I participated in the Afternoon Snack Cruise. It was great! It was just the two of us, a parent and child. When we woke up in the morning, it was unfortunately cloudy, and I was worried about the rain, but it turned out to be better than expected. Occasionally, the sun peeked through, and the breeze on the boat was wonderful! It's a feeling you can only experience on a boat. After about 30 minutes, we arrived at the snorkeling point in front of the Captain Cook monument. Once we got into the water, I was amazed by the clarity. It was my first time seeing so many corals. There were many fish of various sizes and colors swimming among the corals. The untouched beauty of the ocean in Waikiki is too precious to just lump it all together as Hawaii. Next time, I definitely want to join the Deluxe Morning Cruise, where I might encounter dolphins!

アフタヌーン・スナック・クルーズに参加しました。
よかったですよー。私たちは親子2人での参加でした。  朝起きるとあいにくの曇り空で雨は大丈夫かな~と心配しながらの参加でしたが予想以上によかったです。      途中から時折日差しも見えてきて、何より船の上で感じる風!これは船に乗らないと感じる事ができない気持ち良さです。30分ほどでキャプテンクックの記念碑の前のシュノーケリングポイントに到着です。             海に入るとその透明度にびっくりしました。       あんなにたくさんの珊瑚を見たのは初めてでした。その珊瑚の間を行きかう大、小、色もさまざまな魚がたくさんいました。ハワイとひとくくりで言ってしまうにはもったいないワイキキの海とは全く違う手つかずの美しい海でした。
次回は是非イルカに出会えるかもしれないデラックス モーニングクルーズに参加したいです。

Afternoon tour 午後のツアー

Reviewed by: Richard

I participated in the afternoon tour with my two elementary school children.

It was a mistake not to download the map beforehand, as I wasn't sure where the parking lot was. When we checked in at the office, they provided us with a document in Japanese that included important information that would be explained on the boat, so I felt reassured even though my English isn't great. At that time, there were only four of us Japanese and a young couple, but there was a Japanese-Brazilian woman named Rei who spoke fluent Japanese, which was comforting!

We brought our own prescription masks, but they were also available on the boat (Rx masks). They had prescriptions up to 4.0, which seemed to be fine for those with a vision of about 0.1. However, since they were quietly asking around after the fins were handed out, I think it would be better to say "I want an Rx mask!" when borrowing masks at the beginning. Kealakekua Bay is very beautiful, with colorful fish swimming nearby, and the kids enjoyed snorkeling until the last minute. Since the weather was a bit cloudy, it got quite cold on the way back, so it might have been better to have something to wear in addition to a towel. It was a tour that both adults and children could enjoy, and I'm glad we participated!

でも、フィンなどの貸し出しが済んだあと地味~に聞いて

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

Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Tour

Reviewed by: Holly Howell

Tour of a lifetrime. Chose Blue Hawaiian because of their safety and tour awards. Definitely well-earned! Pilot Bob was knowledgable about Hawaii and well-spoken (and charismatic). He included all the passengers in his presentation and used our names. Always nice! Definitely a fun ride - and a view you can only appreciate from a helicopter.

Deluxe Captain Cook Snorkeling Tour at Kealakekua Bay - Fair Wind Cruises

Untitled

Reviewed by: The Craig Family

Fair Winds Staff were very friendly and professional. Service felt very personalized even with such a large amount of people. Boat was very comfortable and we had a very pleasant journey to the Captain Cook Monument (our snorkel spot). Kids loved the water slide and high dive off the boat as much as the snorkeling experience.
