We sailed on the Maui Magic and the crew were really wonderful. Our daughter was a bit hesitant to try snorkling and one of our crew said just the right thing to encourage her to put her face in the water and then we had trouble getting her to come out of the water.
Later, the crew put up a slide for us to use on the last snorkle stop.
We were also incredibly fortunate to see countless hump back whales on our trip out and back, some very close to our boat. The crew were very happy to stop and let us watch them for a good deal of time. In another stroke of luck, a bottle nosed dolphin swam back and forth around the bow of our boat.
This trip was one of the highlights of our vacation and I would encourage anyone not to hesitate to book this whale watch/snorkling trip!

We participated in the morning tour on January 31st, just the two of us. At first, it was cold, but once we got into the water, we got used to it. It was my first time snorkeling, but Alan was very kind and taught us well, so it was fine! We went quite far out and were able to see turtles swimming. We definitely want to join again next time.
1月31日の午前のツアーに夫婦2人で参加しました。私たちだけの参加でした。初めのうち寒かったですけど、海に入ってしまうと慣れました。シュノーケルは、初めてでしたがアランさんが丁寧に教えて下さるので、大丈夫でした!かなり沖の方まで行き、泳いでいるカメも見ることができました。次回もぜひ参加したいと思います。

As expected of a beach known as the No. 1 beach, it was truly beautiful. The food was also very local and good! This time, I participated with my son, but if you're bringing small children, Hanauma Bay might be more fun as there are lots of fish to see. It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't see any fish in Kailua.
さすがはNo.1ビーチと言われるだけあって、本当に綺麗なビーチでした。食事もローカルっぽくてよかったです♪今回うちは息子と2人での参加だったのですが、小さい子どもさん連れならハナウマ湾の方が魚がいっぱいで楽しいかもしれません。カイルアでは魚が見られなかったのが、ちょっと残念だったかな?

Currently, there are no visible lava flows on the Big Island of Hawaii from the ground, so I splurged and took a helicopter ride. The waterfalls and coastlines seen from the air are beautiful, but the bright red crater and lava flows were truly magnificent. I purchased a DVD of the flight, and it occasionally shows the inside of the cabin, capturing my comical expression as I stared in awe at the lava flows, glued to the window.
今のハワイ島では地上から溶岩流がみられるところはないとのことで、奮発してヘリに乗りました。
空中から見る滝や海岸線も美しいですが、やはり真っ赤な火口や溶岩流は見事でした。
フライトを撮ったDVDを購入したのですが、時々機内の様子も写っており、窓にかぶりつきで呆然と溶岩流を眺める自分の姿が滑稽でした。

I went during the New Year. Despite that, we were the only two Japanese people there. There were no staff who spoke Japanese, but one staff member, who was married to a Japanese person, cheerfully talked to us, and the other staff members were very attentive since we were the only Japanese guests.
It was whale watching season, so during the cruise, the staff would spot whales and let us know. On the way to Lanai Island, they gathered the participants once to give an overview, during which they mentioned that there were still seven spots available for dolphin watching. Since it was in English, I wasn't very confident in my listening skills, and while I hesitated, the spots filled up. Later, when I asked someone who participated, they said it was very cute, and I regretted not signing up.
After returning to Japan and reviewing this page again, it seems that the upgrade "Blue Water Adventure Rafting" was what they were referring to.
On Lanai Island, all the kids were enjoying snorkeling. We found it a bit cold, so we didn't go into the water, but we enjoyed relaxing in the shade and exploring the rocky areas to find small fish.
The food was also very delicious, and they served yakisoba! I think it's a tour where you can experience a variety of things all at once.
お正月に行きました。にも関わらず、日本人は私たち2人だけでした。日本語を話すスタッフはいませんでしたが、奥さんが日本人だというスタッフが一人いて陽気に話しかけてくれたり、他のスタッフも日本人が私たちだけということもあってとても気にかけてくださいました。
ホエールウォッチングのシーズンだったので、クルーズの途中にスタッフがクジラを見つけては教えてくれました。
ラナイ島へ向かう途中に、一度参加者を集めてひととおり説明をしてくれたのですが、その中でドルフィンウォッチングの席がまだ7人分空いているといったようなことを言っていました。英語だったのであまり聞き取りに自信がなくて尻込みしているうちに定員オーバーになってしまいました。あとで参加した人に聞いたら、とても可愛かったそうで、思い切って申し込めばよかったと後悔しました。
日本に帰ってきてこのページを再度見直したら、アップグレードの「ブルー・ウォーター・アドベンチャー・ラフティング」というのがそれだったようです。
ラナイ島では子供たちはみんなシュノーケルをして楽しんでいました。私たちはちょっと寒かったので海には入りませんでしたが、木陰でのんびりしたり、岩場を散策して小さな魚を見つけたりして楽しみました。
食事もとてもおいしくて、やきそばも出ました!
一度にいろんなことが体験できるツアーだと思います。

As everyone recommended, the staff and other participants are all friendly, and basic English conversation is sufficient, allowing you to fully enjoy the vacation vibe on the Big Island. There are pamphlets with Japanese translations for snorkeling precautions, which is reassuring. Breakfast, lunch, alcohol, and snacks are all included, providing excellent service. Regarding the sea, you can encounter schools of dolphins, and they give you plenty of time for snorkeling, but the water is quite cold. For those who have snorkeled in other countries, the variety of fish might feel a bit lacking.
皆さんのお勧め通りスタッフや他の参加者たちはみんなフレンドリーで、簡単な英会話で通用しますし、ハワイ島でのヴァカンス気分を十分満喫できます。シュノーケルの際の注意事項も日本語訳のパンフレットがあり安心です。朝食やランチ、アルコールやスナックまでついていてサービス満点です。海については、イルカの群れに出会えますし、シュノーケル時間もたっぷり取ってくれるのですが、とにかく水が冷たい。他国でシュノーケルをやったことのある人にはお魚の種類が少なくてちょっと物足りないかも。

I participated on the afternoon of January 4, 2008 (Friday). It was just the two of us and Alan, heading out to the sea. At first, I was really anxious because it was my first time snorkeling and I wasn't confident in my swimming skills. However, Alan held my hand the whole time, allowing me to fully enjoy the underwater world. I was able to see places that I definitely wouldn't have gone to alone, with significant depth and strong waves. Thank you, Alan!! When I come back to Hawaii, I would like to request Alan again.

We were the only Japanese couple on board. The boat was full with couples and families (about 60 people), but it was spacious enough, and the staff were friendly, chatting with us and other tourists in my limited English. My husband and I couldn't swim without wearing rash guards because it was cold (unfortunately, it was a cloudy day), but the other Westerners enjoyed snorkeling in just their swimsuits without feeling cold at all. There was even a pregnant woman who was 10 months along, which surprised me! Even if you can't swim, there are various floatation devices available, so it's fine. The hamburgers on the boat were very delicious! During the return cruise, we were overwhelmed by sleepiness and ended up dozing off together in the sea breeze. Also, there were two clean toilets on the boat, so we felt comfortable using them. We enjoyed snorkeling at two points and encountered large groups of small dolphins at both spots, which excited everyone!

I was amazed by the completely different scenery compared to what I saw from the ground at Volcanoes National Park a few years ago. According to the pilot, whether you can see the lava varies by day, but fortunately, we were able to see the lava flowing like a river from above.
The price is a bit on the higher side, but there’s no other place where you can get so close to such an active volcano, so I highly recommend the helicopter tour here.
Not only can you see the lava, but you can also experience the natural wonders by viewing the pure white steam rising from the crater that erupted 20 years ago and the vast land covered in lava from the sky.
It was also fun to be guided over jungles and waterfalls before reaching the lava.
The pilot's narration is all in English. For those who understand, the cheerful explanations with jokes are very entertaining, and you can also ask the pilot questions through the microphone during the flight. I think even those who don’t understand can enjoy just watching.
There were also elderly passengers using canes, but the staff provided good support, such as transporting them by cart to the helicopter and guiding them to seats that made getting on and off easier.
I definitely want to recommend this to friends visiting the Big Island.
数年前に火山国立公園で地上から観た時とは全く違う風景に驚きました。 パイロットの方によると溶岩を観れるかどうかは日によって違うそうですが、幸い私達はドロドロと川のように流れ出る溶岩を上空から観る事が出来ました。
値段は少々高めですが、あそこまで活発な活火山を間近で観る事ができる場所は他にはないので、ここでのヘリコプターツアーはお勧めです。
溶岩だけでなく20年前に噴火した火口から吹き上げる真っ白な蒸気や、溶岩に覆われた広大な大地を空から観る事で自然の驚異を実感することができます。
溶岩に行くまでにジャングルや滝を上空から案内してくれるのも楽しかったです。
パイロットの方の案内は全て英語。 解る方はジョークを交えた陽気な説明がとても面白いと思いますし、飛行中に手元のマイクからパイロットの方に質問をする事も出来ます。 解らない方も観ているだけで楽しめると思います。
同乗者には杖をついたご老人の方もいらっしゃいましたが、ヘリコプターに乗るところまでカートで送迎したり、優先的に乗り降りのしやすい席に案内したりと、スタッフのサポートにも好感が持てました。
ハワイ島を訪れる友人にも是非進めたいと思います。

I participated in this helicopter tour with a Japanese pilot, which was a bit pricey. Previously, when I rode a helicopter in Kauai, the pilot was a foreigner, and the other guests were from the mainland (United States). Of course, we were listening to a Japanese explanation tape, but I really wanted to hear a live explanation! So, I chose Blue Hawaiian, hoping to have a chance to have a Japanese pilot.
As a result, I had the most satisfying flight experience. The vast black land seen from above, the red, bubbling lava, the valleys, waterfalls, and expansive pastures... the beautiful coastline. It was a two-hour experience full of surprises.
日本人パイロットのヘリということで、少々高額ですが参加しました。
以前、カウアイ等でへりに乗った際、外国人のパイロットの方で、お客さんは、私達と、本土(アメリカ)かた来た方でした。もちろん私達は、日本語の説明のテープを聞いていたので、やはり生の説明が聞きたい!と思い、できれば、日本人の方にあたる可能性もあるブルーハワイアンを選びました。
結果、最高の満足できるフライト体験をさせて頂きました。

I participated on December 22, 2007, local time. On the day of the event, I was picked up by car from Waikiki, and after about a 45-minute drive, we arrived at Kaneohe Bay. It was raining on the way, and I was worried about the weather, but I was told that the mountain roads leading to Kaneohe Bay often experience rain, so it wasn't a problem.
When we actually arrived at Kaneohe Bay, the weather was partly sunny. We took a yacht to the sandbar, and by the time we reached the sandbar, it was sunny, and the sea was very beautiful. The kids were satisfied playing in the water.
After that, we had the opportunity to snorkel at two locations. The first spot was for seeing fish, and the second was for seeing turtles. My 7-year-old child can swim about 25 meters, but the deep water where they couldn't touch the bottom seemed scary, so they decided not to snorkel. Only my spouse and I participated in snorkeling. Many families had their small children waiting on the yacht. However, the staff kept an eye on them, so it was reassuring. All the staff were full of hospitality, and the conversations were enjoyable. I particularly enjoyed chatting with a staff member named Yuko.
Also, it gets cold on the yacht after coming out of the water, so I recommend bringing a bath towel and a long-sleeved jacket. Additionally, there was a sale of disposable underwater cameras on the yacht for $20, and many people purchased them, but if possible, I recommend buying one in advance or bringing a waterproof digital camera. Thanks to bringing my waterproof digital camera, I was able to take many photos.
現地時間の07年12月22日に参加しました。
当日はワイキキより車でピックアップしてもらい車で走ること約45分程度でカネオヘ湾へ到着しました。途中、雨が降っており天気が心配でしたが、カネオヘ湾へ行く途中の山道は、よく雨が降るので問題ないということでした。
実際カネオヘ湾に到着すると晴れ時々曇りという天気でした。ヨットに乗ってサンドバーへ行くのですが、サンドバーへ到着する頃には晴れており、大変綺麗な海で水遊びをして子供も満足した様子。
その後は、ショノーケルを2箇所で体験できます。1箇所目は、魚を見る所で、2箇所目は、カメを見る所でシュノーケルができます。7歳の子供は25m程度は泳げるのですが、やはり足のつかない深い海は怖いらしくシュノーケルは断念。夫婦だけでシュノーケルに参加しました。他家族のお子様も小さい子供はヨットで待機というパターンが多かったです。でもスタッフが見守ってくれますので安心です。スタッフの方々全員がホスピタリティーにあふれており、トークも楽しく満足です。特にスタッフのユウコさんの会話は楽しかったです。
あと、海からあがってヨットの上は寒いので、必ずバスタオルと上着(長袖)をもっていく事をお勧めします。
また、現地のヨットの中で使い捨て水中カメラの販売(20ドル)があり、多くの方が購入されていましたが、出来たら事前に購入していくか、防水用デジカメ持参をお勧めします。私は防水デジカメを持参したおかげで多くの写真撮影ができました。

I participated in this tour again this year, following last year. This year, it was just my spouse and me, but the experience was even richer than last year. First, we got very close to the turtles (but don't touch them!), swimming slowly together. After that, we encountered some hidden treasures like the red snapper, then changed locations to find seals lounging on the rocks. We dove again and got surrounded by a school of fish. As expected from the experts, they know all the best spots.
They provide all the equipment, and they also lend you life jackets (which help you float and observe slowly, and they protect your chest in relatively shallow areas). It may seem more expensive than other tours, but the service is perfect and absolutely worth it.
去年に続いて 今年も このツアーに参加しました
今年は私たち夫婦2名のみしたが、去年にまして内容の濃いものとなりました。まずカメさんに最接近(さわってはいけませんよ)し 一緒にゆっくり泳ぎ、その後は 穴場に隠れている金目鯛みたいな人たちに遭遇、場所を変えて 岩場にアザラシがごっろと甲羅干し遭遇、再度潜って 魚群の群れに巻かれました。流石達人 ポイントを押さえていますよ。

I participated in a tour on the morning of December 3rd. Although the waves were rough and the water was murky that day, I was generally satisfied with the staff's response. I was able to snorkel once, but I couldn't do the second snorkeling with the sea turtles due to the rough waves. (I heard that the wave height in North Shore exceeded 9 meters.) However, thanks to Eli, who took the boat to a spot where sea turtles were known to appear, I was able to see the sea turtles I had longed to see. At first, the local staff pointed out the direction when they found a sea turtle, but it was difficult to spot them. As time went on, I was able to find sea turtles myself. After a while, it was an amazing situation where there were sea turtles all around the boat in a 360-degree view. Next time, I would like to participate with my wife. The photo with Eli is a treasure!

That morning, there was a moment when it rained heavily like a waterfall, and the weather hadn't been good the day before, so I was really worried. But once I got into Troy's car, who picked me up from the hotel, and crossed the highway tunnel, the weather was really nice! (^O^)
Chad, Etta, and Erin, who kept talking on the microphone, took us on the tour. They were all so cute and funny, which made the experience feel great!
The ocean was the most beautiful I've ever seen, and I was amazed!!
Even so, the guides were a bit disappointed, saying, "It's murky!" They genuinely wanted to show us something even more beautiful, thinking about the tour guests. They were really warm-hearted people! ☆
Even though we were meeting for the first time, we became quite friendly with the other tour guests, and everyone on the boat felt like family, creating a homey atmosphere (*^-^)b
I could only catch a glimpse of the turtles from a distance (they say you usually see them up close 99.9% of the time), but instead, I was able to encounter the very rare manta ray!
Then, they took photos of us in the heavenly ocean and made them look cinematic with Hawaiian music (this was an extra charge, but it was quite a deal!).
If I go to Hawaii, this is a place I would want to visit again and again!\(^_^)/

The staff was very accommodating, and the barbecue was delicious. However, since we ate around 3 PM, we couldn't have dinner that evening, so please be cautious when making restaurant reservations. Was it my fault for being hungry and going for seconds after snorkeling? As for the sea, it wasn't like the Kirin Lemon commercial, but unlike Waikiki, the water was clear, and we got to see tropical fish and turtles. Next time, I want to go when the temperature is higher. Be sure to bring towels from the hotel, as it feels quite cold when you come out of the water.
スタッフの対応も良く、バーベキューもとても美味しかったです。ただ、3時前後に食べるので、その日の夕食は食べれなくなりましたので、レストラン等の予約はご注意を。空腹で、シュノーケリングの後などで、お代わりもしてしまった私が悪い?肝心の海ですが、キリンレモンのCMのようではありませんでしたが、ワイキキの海と違い、透明度も高く、熱帯魚も亀さんにも会えました。今度は、もっと気温が高い時期に行きたいです。ホテルからタオル等は必ずお持ちください、海から上がるととても寒く感じます。

This was our 3rd trip to Oahu and the first time going out with Captain Bob. It was a well organized function with a superb crew! Having the first stop to the sandbar for volleyball was an excellent way for newbies to get used to snorkeling. It also allowed people to get acclimated to the water before getting into the snorkeling around the reef. Their choice in reef was nothing short of excellent! There was a large variety of fish to view to include several Moray Eels that swam about. The location also allowed a beautiful view of the Main Island and isolated islands off the coast. The only complaint is there was a young crew member who needed to pull up his bathing suit a little bit. He was a very nice young man & friendly with everyone but a bit more modesty would have been appreciated.
Overall, the event was great; everyone had an enjoyable time, and would recommend it to anyone visiting Oahu.

It was an awesome experience. Tim, our pilot, was a pleasure to fly with ,and his knowledge and love for the island was incredibly impressive. This is a must do while visiting the Big Island.

One of the places I absolutely wanted to visit when I went to Hawaii after seeing photos in a travel magazine. It was truly beautiful and I was deeply moved. It seems to be one of the world's top power spots, and I was able to relax completely. I even got to meet a lucky sea turtle, so I’m sure many good things are waiting for me when I return to Japan (laughs).
As for snorkeling, only my friends participated while I watched from the boat, but it seemed there weren't as many fish as I had expected. It appears that it is greatly affected by the climate and weather.
Since it mentioned "change of clothes" in the items to bring, I brought extra clothes and underwear to participate, but I was told it was fine to ride the return bus in my wet swimsuit, so I just laid a beach towel down and got on. There wasn't even time to change, and it seemed everyone else got on the bus as they were, so it looked like it wasn't necessary to bring a change of clothes for the return trip to keep our luggage light.
旅行雑誌の写真を見てハワイへ行ったら絶対行きたかったところの一つでした。本当に綺麗で感激でしたよ。世界有数のパワースポットでもあるらしく、心底リラックスできました。幸運を呼ぶ海がめちゃんにも会うことができましたので日本に帰ってきてからきっと良いことがたくさん待ってるはずです(笑)
シュノーケルは友人だけの参加で私は船の上で眺めていましたが、あまり期待していたよりはお魚はいなかったようです。やはり、気候や天候に大きく左右されるようですね。
持ち物に「着替え」と書いてあったので着替えの洋服や下着なども持って参加したのですが、帰りのバスは濡れた水着のまま乗って大丈夫ですとゆうことだったので、そのままバスタオルを敷いて乗りました。着替の時間も無かったですし、皆さんそのままバスに乗られていたようなので、荷物を少なくするためにも帰りの着替えは持たなくてよさそうでした。
