I will never participate again. もう二度と参加はしない

Reviewed by: たらむ

First, the pickup was 15 minutes late. Just as I was about to call because I couldn't wait any longer, they finally arrived, and of course, there was no apology. Next, when boarding the boat, it was so crowded that there were no seats at all. Our group of six had to stand both going and coming back. The staff completely ignored the fact that we were standing without seats. It was difficult to stand with the boat swaying, and when I tried to go towards the deck to grab the handrail, I was told I couldn't. I had no choice but to keep standing. A minute later, when a foreigner tried to go to the deck, the staff said nothing. So, we also moved to the deck. My wife's parents, who are elderly and have weak legs, were with us, and I think it's terrible to accept reservations when there are no seats available. Even though we were visible to the staff, they did nothing and even prevented us from going to the deck. Moreover, when we were sent back, there was no explanation, and we had no idea which car we were supposed to get into. At one point, they changed the route to drop off other customers, and for some reason, they started picking up new customers, leaving us anxious about when they would finally send us. They stopped for a long time near the Sheraton without any explanation, and since it seemed like we wouldn't be departing anytime soon, we had no choice but to get off and go shopping. It was truly the worst experience. I will never use this company's tour again.

まずピックアップは15分遅れ。待ちきれず電話しようとしたところでやっと到着、もちろん謝罪はない。つぎに船に乗る際人がいっぱいで、座るところが全くない。私たち6人のグループだけが行きも帰りも立ったまま。スタッフは我々が座れず立っているのに全く無視。ゆれて立っているのが大変なため船の手すりに捕まろうとデッキの方へ行こうとしたらダメと言われ、仕方なく立っていた。その1分後に外人がデッキへ行こうとしたらスタッフは何も言わず。なので我々もデッキへ移動。妻の親が参加しており老人で足腰弱いんだから、座る場所もないのに予約を受けるなんて最悪と思います。我々がスタッフに見えているにもかかわらず、なんの対応もせずデッキにすら行かせるのを邪魔して一体なんなんだと思います。しかも帰りの送りの際もなんの説明もなく、いったいどの車に乗ればいいのかさっぱりわからなかった。途中他の客の求めでコースを変えて降ろしていたし、何故か新たに客を乗せ出しているしいつになったら我々を送ってくれるんだとやきもきしました。途中シャラトンのそばでなんの説明もなくずっと停車しいつまで待っても出発しそうにない為、仕方なく我々は降車し買い物にでかけました。本当に最悪でした。二度とこの会社のツアーは利用しません。

プライベートチャーター ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング+イルカウォッチングツアー!GoProレンタルあり<午前/日本語ガイド>

A highly satisfying tour. 大満足のツアー

Reviewed by: 家族連れ

This was my second time on a dolphin swimming tour in Hawaii, but the experience on the Big Island far surpassed my previous one. Following the guide's instructions, a pod of about 50 dolphins came close to us repeatedly. The location of the dolphins changes daily, and on the day we participated, the guide had confirmed in advance that they were near the harbor. Therefore, we didn't have to search for them by boat.

We encountered the dolphins shortly after departing from the harbor, allowing us to swim with them for a long time, even after other boats had left. I could clearly hear the dolphins' calls underwater.

Both the guide and the boat captain were very proficient in Japanese, so there was no language barrier. They provided wetsuits, fins, and masks, making it enjoyable even for those who are not confident swimmers. Our third grader had a great time as well.

I highly recommend this experience if you visit the Big Island.

ハワイでのイルカと泳ぐツアーは2回目でしたが、ここハワイ島での体験は前回の経験をはるかに凌駕する素晴らしいものでした。
ガイドさんの教えの通りにしていると、約50頭の群れが何度も何度も近くへ寄って来てくれました。毎日イルカのいる場所は変わるそうで、私たちが参加した日は、ハーバーから近いところにイルカがいることをガイドさんが事前に確認してくれていました。そのため、ボートでイルカを捜しまわることもありませんでした。
ハーバーを出港してあっという間にイルカに遭遇出来たため、そこから時間一杯まで、他のボートがいなくなってもたっぷりイルカと泳がせていただけました。イルカの鳴き声も水中でしっかり聞こえました。
ガイドさん、ボートのキャプテン共に日本語が大変お上手なため、言葉の心配はありませんし、ウェットスーツとフィン、マスクなど一式貸してもらえるので、泳ぎが苦手な方でも十分楽しめると思います。わが家の小学3年生も十分enjoyしていました。
ハワイ島を訪れた際には、ぜひ、経験されることをおすすめします。

A man who loves dolphins and is loved by dolphins! Yes, he is—! イルカを愛し、イルカに愛された男!そう、彼こそはー!

Reviewed by: mas myk

Daisuke, our guide, was wonderful with his attentiveness.

The weather was drizzly and chilly, not typical for Hawaii, but we were able to see plenty of dolphins! We even got to see them jump, which was very satisfying.

I brought my iPhone in a waterproof case, but it didn't respond to swipes underwater. I was advised to start recording video on the boat, and when I tried that, it worked well.

While I was playing with the dolphins, I got a bit seasick (it's better to take motion sickness medication), but everyone was kind and helped me calm down.

According to Daisuke, "I am confident that we can get you closer to the dolphins than anyone else. If we couldn't see them, I believe other companies' boats wouldn't be able to either." His love for dolphins and constant attentiveness seem to help him know the best spots and share information with others.

If there’s a next time, I would definitely love to join again.

ガイド(インストラクター?)のダイスケさんの気配りが素晴らしかったです。

天候は小雨で肌寒くハワイらしくない日でしたが、イルカちゃん(ダイスケさん風)は沢山見れました!ジャンプ姿も見れて、大満足でした。

iPhoneを防水カバーに入れて持って行きましたが、海の中ではスワイプが反応しません。"船の上で動画を始めた状態にすると良いですよ"と言われたので実践したところ、上手くいきました^ ^

イルカたちと戯れている間、私は途中で波酔いしてしまいました(酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が良いです)が、皆さんが優しく対応して下さり気分を落ち着かせる事が出来ました。

ダイスケさん曰く、"どこよりも、イルカちゃんに会わせてあげる自信があります。僕たちがイルカちゃん達に会えなかったら、他の会社さんの船も絶対会えてないと思います。"との事。イルカを愛し、いつも気遣いをしているからこそ、遭遇ポイントも分かるし、他社の方々とも情報共有出来ているようです。

次回があれば、是非またご厄介になりたいと思います。

A precious experience swimming with wild dolphins! 自然のイルカと泳げる貴重な体験!

Reviewed by: MASA&GRIM

I participated with my wife. The reason we chose this activity, as mentioned in the reviews, is that the guides (Daisuke and Ryo) genuinely care for and love the dolphins.

After actually participating, I felt even more that they truly love dolphins from the bottom of their hearts. We encountered dolphins multiple times and were able to swim with them. It was moving to see them swimming comfortably in the natural sea, including family dolphins and baby dolphins. We could also hear their voices.

On our way back to the port, we encountered a manta ray, and although it wasn't included in the tour, we were given the opportunity to swim with it. Thank you so much!!

When we returned to the port, I strongly felt the desire to protect the natural dolphins. I definitely want to participate again next year!

妻と参加させて頂きました。今回このアクティビティを選んだ理由はリビューにも記載されている通り、ガイドの方(ダイスケさんリョウさん)が心からイルカのことを大切に思い愛されているからでした。

実際参加してみたところ、リビューの内容以上に心身からイルカのことが好きなんだな、と感じました。
何回もイルカとも遭遇し一緒に泳ぐことができました。家族のイルカ、
子供のイルカ等、自然の海を心地よく泳いでいる姿に感動です。
イルカの声も聞くことができました。
港に戻る際はマンタに遭遇し、ツアーの内容には含まれていませんでしたが一緒に泳ぐ機会を与えて頂きました。
本当にありがとうございました!!

港に戻った際は自然のイルカを大切に守っていきたいと強く感じました。
来年も是非参加させて頂きます!

Right from the get go we knew we'd picked the best . Check-in was a breeze with happy to see us staff. Captain was great and made us feel at ease going out on the deep. The cat was neat clean tidy an the crew were constantly making sure we had wont for nothing. Beautiful sights of porpoises whales and turtles.

I was able to see whales, and the male staff who spoke Japanese were really friendly, which was great. クジラも観れたし、日本語を話せるメンズスタッフもすごくフレンドリーでよかった。

Reviewed by: パクチーは絶滅すれば良い

The pickup time slightly exceeded the regulation stating, "If more than 10 minutes have passed since the meeting time, call the office," so I was wondering what to do when a cheerful guy and a colorful van appeared. We arrived at the harbor in about 15 minutes.

After signing a document stating that I understood, "Even if you don't see whales, if the boat sinks or if you flirt and die, we won't provide compensation, and it's at your own risk," I boarded the ship.

The boat was clean and spacious. Additionally, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese well, which eased my concerns about the upcoming experience. They were very friendly. Alcohol and soft drinks were all-you-can-drink, and there were two restrooms available, so no worries there.

However, even though the waves were calm, the boat rocked quite a bit, so for those who get motion sickness, I think it would be a 200% chance of getting sick, and even taking motion sickness medication might not help, so it might be better to give up.

On the way out to the open sea, we couldn't spot any whale spouts, so I was somewhat resigned, but while cruising with a beer in hand, watching passenger planes flying overhead in the open waters of Waikiki, I thought it was a nice vacation vibe and good content. Then, on the way back, we discovered a whale spout.

The deck erupted in excitement. After that, we were lucky enough to see multiple whales performing dives and spouting, which was thrilling.

I would say it was a very enjoyable tour experience.

I would recommend it to those who don't get seasick and can enjoy the cruise even if they don't see whales.

If you see a whale, consider yourself lucky.

ピックアップの時間が若干、レギュレーションにある「待ち合わせ時間に10分以上経過した場合は事務所に電話をしろ」という時間を超えていたので、どうしたもんかと思ったところ、陽気なにーちゃんとカラフルなバンが登場。15分程度でハーバーに到着。

「クジラが見えなくても、船が沈没したり、ナンパして、死んでも、おれんところは補償しないし、免責だぜ、」ということを理解しました、という内容にサインしてから乗船。

船は清潔で、広々としてる。さらに日本語を上手に操るスタッフのメンズがいて、今後の流れへの不安は払拭。とてもフレンドリー。
お酒やソフトドリンクも飲み放題。トイレも二つ備え付けなので、心配なし。

ただ、波は穏やかでも、船はそれなりに揺れるので、乗り物酔いする人は200%酔うので、酔い止めを飲んでも効かないレベルだと思うので、諦めた方がいいかもしれない。

外洋まで行く、往路ではクジラの潮吹きを見つけられなかったので、半ば諦めつつも、ビール片手に、ワイキキの外洋を、上空をかすめる、旅客機を見ながらのクルージングは、それはそれで、バカンス感もあり、コンテンツとしても良いかなと思っていた、往路で、クジラの潮吹きを発見。

甲板が一斉に盛り上がる。その後、運良く、複数のクジラが営業ダイビングや、営業潮吹きをしてくれて、盛り上がる。

大変楽しいツアーコンテンツだったと評せる。

船酔いをしない、クジラが見れなくてもクルージングだと思って楽しめる人にはオススメしたい。

クジラが観れたら、それは、ツイてた、ということで。

Maitai Catamaran Waikiki Private Boat Charter

Best Office Holiday Party Ever!

Reviewed by: Wrob

We chartered a catamaran for our office holiday party, and it was the perfect relaxing, fun, and unusual activity for a wonderful time! The two men who captained the boat and tended the bar did a wonderful job! We enjoyed the beauty of being out on the water with excellent beverage service (great maitais!) and nice waves splashing the kids who sat on the net. We would recommend it highly not just for office parties, but for any group. It's a wonderful icebreaker or memory maker activity! We have a lot of diversity of personalities in our office, but everyone had a great time!

  • Sunset sail with a maitai in hand for me, and a soda for the kids!

  • Looking back to shore after sunset with a beautiful Honolulu city skyline to enjoy.

We started our tour from Wailea by rental car, visiting places like the Tree Tunnel, Hanapepe Valley, and Old Koloa Town, with a lunch break along the way, and reached Port Allen in about four hours.

In front of the meeting point at the Holoholo Charters office, there’s a Kauai Chocolate shop! I was really impressed by the samples (laughs). When we arrived at 1:00 PM, newlywed couples and others began to gather.

The captain of the cruiser and the female crew were friendly and kind. Of course, the views of the Na Pali Coast were stunning. Although it was the rainy season in November and it rained a bit, it stopped quickly, allowing us to see a beautiful full-size rainbow. We even encountered dolphins welcoming us! The sunset provided an incredible photo opportunity.

It can be quite bumpy. Most people are fine, but if you're worried about seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

I highly recommend this experience. Be aware that drinks like beer and wine are unlimited!

Reviewed by: sue

I participated with my husband. There were about 40 participants, but we were the only Japanese. The staff doesn't understand Japanese, but it's not a matter of life and death. It would be even better if you can speak English at a conversational level.

On the way to Na Pali Coast, there are points where you can go snorkeling. If you're lucky, you might swim with turtles and dolphins. It's a valuable experience!

The breathtaking views of Na Pali Coast will be etched in your memory! The boat goes at a decent speed, so be careful of seasickness. By the way, I personally got seasick due to fatigue from work the day before and lack of sleep.

I was able to meet a lot of dolphins. たくさんのイルカに会えました

Reviewed by: ミカコ

When we gathered, the guide mentioned that on the same tour a few days prior, they hadn't encountered any dolphins, which made me a bit worried. However, we were lucky to see many dolphins!

After heading out to sea, I learned that usually, they swim slowly towards where the dolphins are, but that day, there were unusually many dolphins coming towards us.

While we were fortunate, I believe it was also thanks to the guide who chose that location. The guide decides where to wait for the dolphins.

The boat ride took about 30 to 40 minutes, but the guide shared various stories about the Big Island, dolphins, and whales, making the journey enjoyable. It was also nice that it wasn't a large group tour, but rather a small one. Thank you very much.

集合したときガイドさんに、私が参加した数日前の同じツアーでは全くイルカに出会えなかったと聞いて心配になりましたが、運よくたくさんのイルカに会えました。
沖にでてからも、いつもはイルカのいるほうへ少しずつ泳いで移動するそうですが、その日はいつになくたくさんのイルカが来てくれてたそうで、イルカのほうから寄ってきてくれる感じでした。

運もよかったですが、その場所を選んでくれたガイドさんのおかげでもあると思います。どのあたりでイルカを待つかはガイドさんの判断だそうです。

船での移動は30~40分ほどありましたが、ガイドさんもハワイ島やイルカやクジラのいろんな話をしてくれたので、移動中も楽しく過ごせました。一度に大勢参加するツアーではなく少人数でのツアーだったのもよかったです。
ありがとうございました。

I encountered a large number of dolphins—countless, really. On this day, I was lucky to spot dolphins right after getting on the boat. We swam with them for about an hour without moving. The dolphins jumped and were very playful.

In the water, some were sleeping while others were active; the active ones would come up to the surface and then swim close to us repeatedly. The sleeping ones floated in deeper waters. The sound of the dolphins chirping could be heard all around, making it a truly precious experience.

This tour might be canceled soon, but I’m really glad I was able to participate. By the way, even if you can't swim, they provide flotation devices, so you can still join. If you go to Hawaii, you definitely should do this! Lastly, thank you so much to the captain who took us back and shared various things about Kona.

大量のイルカちゃんと遭遇。数え切れないくらい。。
この日はラッキーで船で移動してすぐにイルカと遭遇しました。そしてそのまま移動することなく1時間程泳いでました。
イルカもジャンプしてくれたり、サービス精神旺盛です。
水中は寝てる子と活動してる子がいて、活動してる子は気ままに水面に上がっては近づいての繰り返し。寝てる子は深いところでプカプカ。
イルカのキュイキュイという声があちらこちらで聞こえていて、とても貴重な体験となりました。
もしかしたらもうすぐ中止になってしまうかもしれないツアーですが、参加できて本当に良かった。
ちなみに泳げなくても浮具を貸してくれるので参加できます。ハワイにいったら絶対やったほうがいいです!

I've been on the boat for 7 hours, and since most of that time is spent traveling at high speed, it can get a bit boring. In that case, being able to have fun conversations with the other 20 or so passengers is key. The staff is very friendly, you can see dolphins, you can go snorkeling, and making your own sandwiches for lunch was enjoyable. Overall, I had a great time.

I had a very happy and amazing experience. とても幸せな最高の体験ができました。

Reviewed by: AYAKA

Swimming with dolphins has been a dream of mine on Hawaii Island for years, and this was my first trip to Hawaii Island!! However, just before departure, there were reports of orca sightings, which gave me a strange feeling... Still, once we set sail, it felt wonderful and fun to cut through the wind and move across the sea.

As the boat progressed, both the captain and the guide gathered a lot of information and did everything possible to create a miracle. Although I didn't get to see any dolphins, they took us to a beautiful spot where we could go snorkeling.

Then came the much-anticipated second day. Since we were dealing with nature, I wasn't sure if we would see dolphins again, but I really wanted to go. And then, finally, the dolphins appeared!! I was so happy and excited that I swam with the dolphins, following the captain and guide's instructions, finding the best positions and timing over and over again.

This incredible experience was thanks to the dolphins and, above all, the two captains and the guide who worked hard to entertain us for two full days. I want to come back to Hawaii Island and join the same tour again. Thank you so much!!

イルカと泳ぐのはハワイ島♡と何年も前から決めており、今回初ハワイ島旅行!!
しかし、出港前にシャチの目撃情報があり怪しい予感…。それでも出港したら風を切りながら海を進むのが心地よくて楽しくて。
船を進める中、キャプテンもガイドさんもたくさんの情報収集をして奇跡を起こすための最善のことを全てしてくれました。
イルカには会えなかったけど、素敵な場所へ連れて行ってくれてシュノーケリングをできました。
そしてリベンジの2日目。
自然相手なので2日目も会えるかは分からないけど、とにかく行きたかった。
そしてそして念願のイルカの登場!!とにかく嬉しくて幸せでキャプテンとガイドさんの指示で夢中でイルカと泳ぎました。何度も何度もベストなポジションとタイミングで泳ぎました。
こんな幸せな経験をできたのはイルカたちとそして、何より2日間全力で私たちを楽しませてくれたキャプテン2名とガイドさんのおかげです。
またハワイ島へ来てまた同じツアー参加したいです。本当にありがとうございました!!

Dolphin イルカ

Reviewed by: ako

My first snorkeling experience with dolphins was exhilarating. We traveled to the spot by boat, and the weather was perfect, making the journey even more enjoyable! Once we arrived, the guide observed the dolphins' movements and chose the best spot for us to dive in. Dolphins swam right in front of us, and as I looked around, I spotted a mother and baby dolphin below me. They even came close to me, which was incredibly exciting. The guide swam with the dolphins, and it was truly amazing. I definitely want to do this again when I visit the Big Island!

初のイルカとのシュノーケリング、ワクワクで参加。
ポイントまで、ボードで移動。天気にも恵まれて移動中も気分は最高‼️
ポイントについて、ガイドの方がイルカの動きを見て、ベストな所でダイブイン。目の前をイルカが通過したり、周りをキョロキョロしてると、自分の下の方に親子連れのイルカがいたり、自分の近くまで近寄ってきたりと大興奮です。ガイドの方は、イルカと一緒に泳いだりしていて、本当に凄かった。
またハワイ島に行ったらやりたいと思いました。

Kealakekua Bay Snorkel & Dolphin Watch Rafting Tour - Kona Ocean Experience

Incredible!

Reviewed by: Rebecca Thom

Absolutely amazing experience! Swam with so many dolphins; loved every moment. We were the only ones booked on to the boat so we literally had our own private tour! Our guide was lovely and gave us great information and stories about the island. We also got lots of time to snorkel and even saw two white tip reef sharks! Would definitely recommend this tour!

I was able to see a pod of dozens of dolphins! イルカの何十頭の群れが見れました!

Reviewed by: 船酔いさん

I was really able to swim with dolphins! On the day I participated, we encountered dolphins right after the boat left the port. I was surprised to see dolphins swimming in such a place! Under the guidance of Daisuke, who loves dolphins, we positioned the boat well and entered the water, but it was challenging to avoid splashing when entering. Timing for the dolphins to come was also tricky, so it seems important to keep your face in the water and look around while you're in the sea. There were two divers, but I think practicing to swim to some extent beforehand would allow you to swim more with the dolphins. The baby dolphins were jumping on the surface and were incredibly cute! Above all, when I heard the dolphins' voices underwater, it felt mystical. I can't guarantee it, but they really work hard to help you swim with the dolphins, so I believe it's definitely worth participating if you want to swim with them!

本当にイルカと泳ぐことができました!
今回参加した日は港から船が出たすぐの部分でイルカに会うことができました。こんなところで自然のイルカが泳いでるの!?とビックリしました。イルカ大好きダイスケさんの指示のもと船を良い部分に付けて海に降りるのですが、着水時に水しぶきが出ないようにしなければいけずそれが難しかったです。イルカが来るタイミングも難しいので海にいるときは常に顔を水につけてキョロキョロすることが大事みたいです。ダイバーさんは二人いましたがある程度泳げるように練習しておくとよりイルカと泳げると思います。イルカは赤ちゃんイルカがたくさん水面を跳ねててとても可愛かったです!何より海の中でイルカの声を聞けたときは神秘的なものを感じました。絶対とは言いませんがイルカと泳げるようかなり頑張ってくれるのでイルカと泳ぎたい方はぜひ参加する価値ありだと思います!

We were able to enjoy ourselves fully as adults because the staff also took care of the children and grandmother. I'm grateful to the wonderful staff. We had the chance to meet many dolphins and had enough time to swim, creating the best memories!

As expected, it's a breathtaking view! やっぱり絶景!

Reviewed by: ほるんちゃん

On the way there and back, we passed both close to and far from the cliffs, allowing us to enjoy the mountainside and the distant scenery. It was a comfortable voyage on the clear waters of the sea. While the engine was running, I had a great time getting soaked with seawater on the front deck with people from various countries. We were the only Japanese people on board, but the crew noticed that my companion didn't understand English very well, and I was really happy that they took special care of us.

行きと帰りで、崖の近くも遠くも通ったので、山肌も遠景も楽しめました。
水のきれいな海で快適な航海です。エンジン走行中は、前のデッキでいろんな国の人と海水でびしょ濡れになって大はしゃぎしました。
日本人は私たちだけだったのですが、同行者が英語をよくわかっていないことをクルーが察してくれて、特に気遣ってくれたのが嬉しかったです。

I was deeply moved to encounter so many dolphins. My 7-year-old daughter went snorkeling for the first time, and thanks to the incredibly kind support from Daisuke and Keiko, we were able to have the best time. Our whole family was so touched that we can't express it in words. We are very grateful to Captain Nawata for all his help, to all the guides we met, and to the nature of the Big Island. Thank you for everything.

沢山のイルカに出会うことができとっても感動しました。7歳の娘は初めてのシュノーケルでしたが、ダイスケさんとけいこさんのとっても優しいサポートのお陰で最高の時間を過ごすことができました。
家族全員とにかく感動で、言葉では言い表すことができない位です。
船長の縄田さんにもとってもお世話になり、ガイドの皆さんに出会えたこと、ハワイ島の自然、全てに感謝申し上げます。

I had an American experience. アメリカンな体験ができました

Reviewed by: たいちゃん

You take off your shoes at the dock and board the boat barefoot. Most of the passengers are Westerners, with about 10% being Asians, including Japanese. The crew spoke only English, but they were friendly and pleasant. After departing, drinks and appetizers are served. Following that, you can enjoy dishes including tacos. It gets quite rocky, so I think it's better to wear a swimsuit.

船着き場で靴を脱いで裸足で船に乗り込みます。ほとんどが欧米人で日本人を含むアジア系は1割程度でしょうか、クルーは英語オンリーでしたがフレンドリーな感じで好感が持てました。出発してしばらくするとドリンクとオードブルがでます。その後はタコスを含む料理が楽しめます。結構揺れますので水着で乗った方がいいと思います。

ナ・パリ・コースト クルーズ 立ち入り禁止の聖域「ニイハウ島」沖でのシュノーケリング付き<朝食・ビュッフェ昼食付き/英語ガイド>

It's quite shaky, but... かなり揺れるけど……

Reviewed by: じゃあみぃ

I visited Kauai for the first time last year and loved it, so I returned again this year. I did the Na Pali Coast cruise last year as well, but this time I chose a tour that allowed snorkeling off the coast of Niihau and got us close to the cliffs.

The snorkeling off Niihau was fantastic, with some deep areas to explore, and getting close to the cliffs was very impressive.

However, the boat does rock quite a bit. On the day of the tour, the sea conditions were very calm, but especially on the way back, it swayed quite a lot, possibly to pick up speed. Our family barely avoided getting seasick (except for my father, who took motion sickness medication), but it was a close call. The foreign ladies on board were being handed buckets one after another.

If you are prone to motion sickness or have any concerns, I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

That said, I believe this tour is worth participating in, even with medication. I especially recommend it for those who are experiencing the Na Pali Coast tour for the first time!

去年カウアイ島を初めて訪れとても気に入り、今年再び。ナ・パリ・コーストのクルーズは去年もしましたが、今回はニイハウ島沖でシュノーケルができ、絶壁近くまで接近してくれるこのツアーを選びました。
ニイハウ島沖でのシュノーケルは水深の深い部分もあり、とても楽しめました。また、絶壁への接近もとても見ごたえがありました。

ただ、船がかなり揺れます。ツアー当日、海の状態はとても穏やかでしたが、特に帰路はスピートを出すためか、かなりの勢いで縦横に揺れます。我々家族は辛うじて酔いませんでしたが(父親以外酔い止め薬服用)、ギリギリの感じでした。外国のご婦人方は次々とバケツを渡されていました。
乗り物酔いをしやすい方、少しでもご心配な方は酔い止め薬を飲むことをお勧めします。

とはいえ、酔い止め薬を飲んででも参加する価値のあるツアーだと思います。特にナ・パリ・コースト ツアー初めての方にはお勧めです!

Be careful of seasickness. It might be worth going at least once. 船酔い注意。一度は行ってもいいのでは

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

It took about an hour to get to the snorkeling point. The sea had some transparency, but it felt like a black ocean, and while there were a few fish, it wasn't beautiful at all. You might want to reconsider making snorkeling the main focus. For a light breakfast, we had fruit and sweet bread. For lunch, I made a sandwich (but I couldn't eat it because I felt nauseous). We stopped the boat at various photo spots, and everyone was taking pictures. I had anticipated this based on the reviews I read, but even with motion sickness medication, it was tough. Be sure to bring motion sickness medication and a jacket for rain and wind!

おおよそ1時間くらいかけて、シュノーケリングポイントへ。海は透明度は若干あるものの、黒い海といった感じで、魚は少しいましたが、まったくキレイではありませんでした。シュノーケルをメインには考えないほうがいいでしょう。軽い朝食は、フルーツと甘いパン。昼食は自作のサンドイッチ(私は酔いそうで、たべれませんでした)ところどころ、写真スポットで船を停止させ、みんな撮影してました。口コミみて行ったので予想できていましたが、酔い止め飲んでもきつかったです。必ず酔い止めと、雨よけ風よけの上着は持参してくださいね!
