It became a wonderful memory for our 25th wedding anniversary. 結婚25周年の素晴らしい思い出になりました

Reviewed by: hiroko

My husband and I participated together, and I finally fulfilled my long-time dream of "swimming with dolphins"! A group of dolphins swam gracefully by, close enough that I felt I could reach out and touch them! There were also adorable baby dolphins. While we couldn't play with them, I was so happy to hear their voices.

The dolphins' performance is a must-see! They followed the boat and surfed, showing off impressive jumps with twists, just like Kohei Uchimura.

For those who share a dream like mine, I highly recommend participating. My husband joined reluctantly, showing no interest, but he ended up quite excited, snapping photos with an underwater camera. Later, he said, "That was pretty good."

Are you afraid of swimming in the ocean? No worries! You can borrow a float called a noodle. Plus, the guide holds your arm firmly, so you can feel safe (they took great care of both of us).

Worried about not seeing well underwater? No problem! You can borrow a prescription mask. My husband has terrible nearsightedness, but he enjoyed it.

Both the guide and the captain were very cheerful and kind. They seemed to find purpose in making sure we had a great time.

We also observed an activity at the hotel where you can interact with dolphins, but I thought that if you're going to spend that much money, this experience is definitely the better choice.

I created wonderful memories for a lifetime. Thank you!

主人と2人で参加しました　「イルカと泳ぐ」という長年の夢をやっと果たせました！少し近寄れば触れそうなところを悠然とイルカの群れが泳いでいくのです！かわいい子供イルカもいました　いっしょに遊ぶことはできませんが、イルカたちの声も聞けてとても嬉しかったです
それにイルカたちのパフォーマンスは必見です！
船の後についてきてサーフィンしたり、内村航平ばりのひねりの入ったジャンプを何度も見せてくれました
私のような夢を持っていらっしゃる方、ぜひ参加して下さい
主人は何の興味もなく仕方なく参加したのですが、結構興奮して水中カメラでパシャパシャ撮ってました　後で聞くと「なかなかよかったなあ」とのことでした
海で泳ぐのは怖い？　心配要りません！　ヌードルと呼ばれるうきを貸してもらえます　それにガイドさんがしっかり腕をにぎっていてくださるので安心です（主人と2人大変お世話になりました）　
目が悪いから水中はよく見えない？　大丈夫です！　度付きマスクを貸してもらえます　主人はひどい近眼ですが楽しめましたよ
ガイドさんも船長さんもとても陽気でいい方でした
それに私達を楽しませることに生きがいを感じていらっしゃるような方たちです
ホテルでイルカと触れ合うアクティビティもあり見学しましたが、あれだけのお金を出すなら絶対こっちの方が正解だと思いました

Private Kaneohe Sandbar Speed Boat Rental with SUP & Snorkel – Captain Bruce

Thank you from Australia

Reviewed by: Hortons from Australia

Our family did the private boat charter when on vacation in Oahu just a couple of weeks ago, after booking from the Internet and just hoping we would get a tour that we would not forget. We were not disappointed at all, not realizing this company catered largely for Japanese tourists we were so impressed with our charter. Our captain was just so friendly and informative and made us feel very welcome and was great fun too. We will certainly be coming back again one day and booking another charter and would highly recommend to anyone that wants to treat themselves to something special and spoil themselves on a captain Bruce charter. Thank you so much for your hospitality.
Kind regards, the Hortons from Down Under !

We participated with our family of three on September 16th! ９月１６日に家族3人で参加しました！

Reviewed by: S.T

We participated as a family of three with our 10-year-old son. This was our first experience with snorkeling, and despite not being great swimmers, we wanted to swim with dolphins. After considering various options, we decided to join Mr. Nawata's tour! The reasons were the small group size of eight people and the five-star service from the staff.

Having actually participated, I can confidently say that choosing this tour was the right decision! Mr. Nawata took great care of our son, allowing him to see the dolphins up close, which made him extremely happy! We were also able to chase the dolphins without worrying about our son (though we were quite busy with our own excitement).

Here are the good points about participating in Mr. Nawata's tour:
- With a maximum of eight participants, we didn't waste time getting on and off the boat, which increased our opportunities to swim with the dolphins (larger boats tend to take longer).
- The boat was specifically for snorkeling, so we were close to the water's surface, making it completely non-threatening for us, even as beginners.
- The staff were very attentive. As mentioned, Mr. Nawata was dedicated to taking care of our son, allowing him to see the dolphins up close. Swim guide Michi and the captain also constantly pointed out where the dolphins were so that participants could see them well!
- Even as first-time snorkelers who couldn't swim well, we were able to use a floating device, which allowed us to chase the dolphins with confidence.

You may already know this, but my wife, who has poor eyesight, had no issues wearing disposable contact lenses. I was able to borrow prescription goggles, which helped me see the dolphins clearly.

I would love to participate again next year.

Lastly, thank you, Michi, for sending the wonderful dolphin photos. I'm using one as my phone wallpaper!

10歳の息子と一緒に家族3人で参加しました。シュノーケリングは家族3人初めての経験で、あまり泳げないにもかかわらずイルカと一緒に泳ぎたくて、いろいろと検討した結果、縄田さんのツアーに参加！その理由は８名という少人数が定員ということと、スタッフの対応が五つ星ということ。
実際に参加しての実感はこのツアーを選んで大正解！
息子には縄田さんが付きっきりで面倒を見ていただけたので、誰よりもイルカを近くで見ることができ、大満足！私たちも息子を心配せずに（というか自分のことでいっぱいいっぱいでしたが。。。）イルカを追いかけることができました。

縄田さんのツアーに実際に参加して良かった点は、次のとおりです。
？定員８名なので、船のあがりおりに時間がかからず、イルカと一緒に泳ぐ機会が増える（大規模な船だとあがりおりに時間がかかるようです）。
？ボートがシュノーケル専用のボートとのことで、海面からの距離が近く、まったく経験のない私たちでも海に飛び込むことがまったく怖くありませんでした。
？スタッフの面倒見が非常に良い。上述のとおり、息子は縄田さんに付きっきりで面倒をみてもらったので、近くでイルカを見れて大満足。スイムガイドのミチさんやキャプテンも参加者にイルカをたくさん見てもらうためにどこにイルカがいるのか常に指し示してくれました！
？泳げないシュノーケリング初めての私たちでも棒状の浮き輪？を使えるので、安心してイルカを追いかけることができました。

また皆さんはご存知のことかもしれませんが、目が悪い妻は使い捨てコンタクトをつけたままでもまったく支障はなかったとのことでした。視力が0.1程度の私は度付きのゴーグルを借りることができましたので、イルカをよく見ることができました。

また来年も参加したいと思います。

最後にミチさん、ステキなイルカの写真を送って頂きありがとうございました。

I absolutely recommend it! 絶対おすすめです！

Reviewed by: ミゲル

I participated on September 22nd. I have experienced diving and snorkeling in various islands, including overseas, but swimming close to wild dolphins and hearing their voices live was a first for me, and it was an emotional experience that is hard to put into words. The guides, Mr. Nawata and Ms. Tsuyako, were very kind and provided heartfelt guidance. They help ensure that even solo participants or those who are not very comfortable in the water can enjoy the experience. What impressed me the most was the enthusiasm they showed in wanting to convey the beauty of Hawaii to the guests. When we returned to the port, we took a moment to search for whales, as it was mentioned that they had arrived early in Hawaii this year. Unfortunately, we couldn't spot any, but more than anything, I was reminded of the "curiosity" and excitement that I often forget in the urban life of Tokyo. I heard that in winter, you can meet whales, so I hope to come back someday to see them.
It's a wonderful recommended tour that is small in number, homey, safe, and truly moving!

９月２２日に参加しました。ダイビングやシュノーケリングを海外を含む色々な島で経験してきましたが、野生のイルカの間近で泳ぐ体験、イルカの声を生で聞く経験は初めてで、言葉で表現するのは難しいくらいの感動を味わうことができました。　ガイドの縄田さんと、つやこさんはとても親切で心のこもったガイドをしてくれました。ひとり参加や、海があまり得意でない人でもエンジョイできるように誘導してくれます。私が印象的だったのは、ハワイの素晴らしさをゲストに伝えようとしてくれる熱意を感じたことです。最後に帰港する際、今年はクジラが早くハワイ島にやってきたということで、しばしクジラ探しをしました。残念ながら目撃することはできませんでしたが、何より東京の都会では普段忘れている「好奇心」やワクワクする気持ちをかき立ててもらえました。冬ならクジラに会えるそうなので、いつか会いに来たいと思います。
　人数も少なめで、アットホームかつ安全で感動できる素晴らしいおすすめツアーです！

We participated as a couple on September 13th! ９月１３日に夫婦で参加しました♪

Reviewed by: Y.O

Thank you very much for your support on September 13th. Thanks to Mr. Nawata and swim guide Michi, I had a very enjoyable dolphin swim. Michi even said, "It's been a while since I've seen dolphins in such a playful mood!" I was very satisfied with how much fun the dolphins had with us! I believe even those who can't swim can feel safe swimming with the dolphins with the support of floatation devices and the swim guides.

The dolphin swim involves chasing after dolphins that are moving south, and it’s a repetitive process of chasing and swimming. Aloha Kona Tours has a capacity of 8 people (there were 6 during my time), so compared to tours with 20 people, the boarding and disembarking is quicker, allowing for more time swimming with the dolphins. While you can't know for sure until you go, there are many boats out in the ocean for dolphin tours, and some are quite large. Aloha Kona Tours is definitely a better deal!

By the way, the boat (about a 20-minute ride) can be quite rocky, so motion sickness medication is a must. If you get sick, you won't be able to enjoy it. Also, if you bring a hat, make sure it has a strap to keep it secure, or it will get blown away. On the way there, a swimsuit is fine, but on the way back, since your body will be wet and cold, it’s good to have a light jacket. I brought an underwater camera, but I was so focused on watching the dolphins that I only managed to take one decent photo (；；). However, I think it’s more important to see them with your own eyes first, so I wish I had just recorded in movie mode instead of worrying about photos.

If you write your email address in Michi's sign book, she will send you the photos she took of the dolphins later (they're really well taken!). I'm grateful for that☆

Next time, I want to be able to dive down to 3 meters for the dolphin swim (I've heard it gives you a greater sense of "swimming together"). Thank you so much again!!

９月１３日は大変お世話になりました。
縄田さんとスインムガイドのミチさんにしっかりサポートしていただいたおかげで、とても楽しいドルフィンスイムになりました。
ミチさんも「こんなに遊びモードのイルカは久しぶり！」と言っていたほど、イルカにたくさん遊んでもらえて大満足でした！
泳げない人でも浮輪とスイムガイドさんのサポートで安心してイルカと泳げると思いますよ。

ドルフィンスイムは南下して移動してくるイルカを追いかけて泳ぐ→追いかけて泳ぐ→追いかけて泳ぐという繰り返しなのですが、アロハコナツアーズさんは定員８名なので（私の時は６名でした）、２０名い乗ってるツアーなどに比べて乗り降りが早くイルカと泳ぐ時間が長いようです。
行ってみないと分からないですが、海にはイルカツアーのたくさんの船が出ていて、かなり大所帯の船もありました。
絶対アロハコナツアーズさんの方がお得ですよ~☆

ちなみにボート（片道２０分ほど）はなかり揺れるので、酔い止め必須です。酔ってしまっては楽しめないので。
また、帽子は紐付きで固定できる物でないと飛ばされてしまうので持って行っても意味ないです。
行きのボートは水着だけで大丈夫ですが、帰りは体が濡れて冷えているので薄い上着が一枚あるといいです。
私は水中カメラを持って行ったのですが、イルカを見るのに夢中でちゃんと撮れたのは１枚くらいでした（；；）
でもまずは肉眼でちゃんと見るのが優先だと思うので、写真は諦めてムービーモードで回していれば良かったと思いました・・・。

でもミチさんのサイン帳にＰＣのアドレスを書くと、後日ミチさんが撮ったイルカの写真が送られてきますよ。（とっても良く撮れてます！）
感謝です☆

今度は３メートルでも潜れるようになってドルフィンスイムに臨みたいと思います。（もっと「一緒に泳いでいる」感覚になれるとのことです。）
本当にありがとうございました！！

Dolphins in front and dolphins behind. 前にもイルカ、後ろにもイルカ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I had experience with dolphin watching, but I joined the tour expecting to swim with them. I thought we would only see them from a distance in the water, but they actually swam right next to us. I was captivated watching a baby dolphin nudging its mother and two dolphins racing alongside each other. As I got distracted by the dolphins behind me, I noticed there were dolphins on the side as well! Before entering the water, our guides, Mr. Nawata and Ms. Michi, told us to constantly be aware of our surroundings, and I found that to be true (laughs).

I was amazed that we could see them up close. Mr. Nawata mentioned, "They might not come close because they have a baby with them," and Ms. Michi added, "They are swimming fast today." I was surprised to learn that wild dolphins sometimes swim closer and slower.

It wasn't just the dolphins that impressed me. On this day, we had a hard time finding dolphins and spent quite a bit of time searching, but the staff worked hard to ensure that participants could see as many dolphins as possible. Once we found them and entered the water, the captain pointed out where the dolphins were from the boat, while the two guides continuously signaled us from the water. After the tour, Ms. Michi kindly offered to send me the dolphin photos she took, so I shared my email address, and she promptly sent me some amazing, clear images. We had tried to take pictures ourselves, but we couldn't keep up with the dolphins' speed, so I was very grateful for her thoughtful gesture.

The conversations on the boat were enjoyable, and they shared various ways to enjoy the Big Island. I think the tour was even more enjoyable because all the staff were genuinely pleasant. There were first-time snorkelers and elementary school children on this trip, and the attention given to them was very detailed, making it a tour that beginners could join with confidence.

The boat was a small one with a capacity of eight participants, which actually turned out to be good for swimming with the dolphins. We would find the dolphins and then enter the water ahead of where they were swimming, waiting for them to pass by. After they went by, we would get back on the boat and repeat the process. If the boat were larger, it wouldn't be as maneuverable, and with more people, it would take longer for everyone to get back on the boat, reducing the number of times we could see the dolphins.

This time, my wife saw online that Mr. Nawata's tour had a good reputation, so we decided to join both the manta and dolphin tours.

イルカウォッチングの経験はあったが、一緒に泳げることを期待してツアーに参加。とはいえ、少し離れた海中から見るくらいだろうと思っていたが、本当にすぐ近くを群れが泳いでいく。子供のイルカが母イルカをつついている様子や２頭が競争するように並走していく様子などを夢中で見ていると後にイルカ、そちらに気を取られると横にもイルカ！　
海に入る前にガイドの縄田さんやミチさんに言われたとおり、絶えず上下左右を気にしていないといけない（笑）
こんな間近で見られるとは、と感激していると、「今は子供がいるから少し警戒して寄ってこないのかもしれない」と縄田さん。ミチさんも「今日は泳ぎが速い」と。野生のイルカなのにもっと近くをもっとゆっくり泳いでくれることもあるのだと驚いた。

感激したのはイルカばかりではない。この日はイルカがなかなか見つからずかなり船を走らせたが、スタッフみんなが何とか参加者により沢山のイルカを見せてくれようと群れを探し、見つかって海に入るとキャプテンは船の上から、ガイドのお二人は海中でこっちこっちと常にイルカのいる所を教えてくれた。またツアー後もミチさんが自身で撮られたイルカの写真を送って下さるというのでメールアドレスをお伝えしておいたら、早速にとてもクリアな素晴らしい画像を送ってくださった。自分達でも写してはいたがどうしてもイルカのスピードについていけず、上手く撮れていなかったので大変嬉しい心遣いだった。

船上でのおしゃべりも楽しく、ハワイ島での楽しみ方もいろいろ教えていただいた。スタッフ皆さんが本当に気持ちの良い方ばかりだったのでよりツアーを楽しめたのではないかと思う。
今回はシュノーケル初体験という方や小学生のお子さんもいたが、そのアテンドも大変きめ細かく、初心者でも安心して参加できるツアーだと思った。
船は小さいボートで参加者も８名が定員だが、それがかえってイルカと泳ぐには良いよいのだそう。実際イルカを見つけては彼らが泳いできそうな所に先回りして海に入って待つ、イルカが通り過ぎると船にあがり、また先回りして海に入る、の繰り返し。船が大きいと小回りがきかないし、人数が多いと全員が船にあがるのにも時間がかかってしまい、イルカを見る回数が減ってしまうとのことだった。

今回、嫁がサイトで縄田さんのツアーが評判なのを見て、マンタとイルカ、２つのツアー

So close. こんなに近くに

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in several wild dolphin tours on Oahu. This time, I heard rumors that the dolphin tour on the Big Island is amazing, so I made a reservation. We chased dolphins on a boat that moved freely across the sea, taking us to a spot where the dolphins came very close. I was thrilled to see mother and baby dolphins and playful dolphins up close, but I was told that there were fewer tour staff than usual, which was disappointing. I wondered if I could really swim with the pod if I participated at the usual time! I decided that I would definitely make a reservation for the next time I visit the Big Island. Among the participants, there were beautiful underwater photos of dolphins taken with a 100% waterproof digital camera, so I want to bring a waterproof digital camera next time. After participating in this tour, I personally felt that while the recreational dolphin tours on Oahu are fun, I might be done with them...

オアフ島では何回か野生のイルカツアーに参加しました。今回はハワイ島でのイルカツアーは凄いらしいと噂を聞いて予約しました。イルカを追い求めてボートを海上に縦横無尽に走らせ、凄く近くまでイルカ達が来てくれる場所まで連れて行ってくれました。親子イルカや遊んでいるイルカ達を近くで見ることができて、大感激だったのですが、ツアースタッフの方々はいつもより少なくて残念と言ってました。じゃあ、いつもの時に参加できたら本当に群れと泳げるのか！！！と。次回のハワイ島では必ず予約しようと決めました。参加している方の中で防水100％のデジカメで撮られた水中のイルカ達の写真がとてもきれいだったので、次回は防水デジカメ持参で参加したいです。このツアーに参加した後に、オアフ島のリクリエーション的なイルカルアーは楽しいけれども、もういいかな、、、と個人的には思いました。

I had been wanting to participate in a dolphin tour for a long time and did some research, but I decided to apply to Aloha Kona Tours for a couple of reasons: the small group size and the fact that they speak Japanese. Additionally, the numerous comments from past participants were decisive factors for me.

Participating in the tour was truly an amazing and moving experience. We were a couple not so young and complete beginners, but thanks to Mr. Nawata and staff member Tsuyako's thoughtful attention, we were able to enjoy snorkeling without any worries.

Of course, we got to see dolphins, and we even encountered a manta ray, which was incredibly moving. They made sure we could meet dolphins multiple times by getting the boat ahead of them, and we could even hear the dolphins' sounds and saw a mother and baby dolphin.

I am truly grateful to Mr. Nawata and Tsuyako, who were always smiling. It was a reassuring dolphin tour for beginners.

Dolphins and manta rays! イルカとマンタが！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was thrilled to see not only dolphins but also manta rays! It was a truly unforgettable experience that I could never have in Japan, so I was very satisfied.

There were only two crew members, the captain and a guide, along with eight guests, which made for a more intimate atmosphere. I think it's great for those who dislike a noisy environment.

However, since it was my first time snorkeling, I panicked a bit when I jumped into the sea and swallowed quite a bit of seawater (laughs).

イルカだけじゃなくてマンタも見ることが出来て感激しました！日本では到底体験できない時間だったので大満足です。

船にはキャプテンとガイドの2名、お客さんの8名という少人数体制だったので、ワイワイガヤガヤした感じが嫌いな人は良いと思います。

ただ、シュノーケルは始めてだったので、最初に海に飛び込んだ時はかなり海水を飲んであせりました（笑）

This time we went to the Big Island, and visiting Kilauea and Mauna Kea was a must. I looked into what else there was to do and found out that you can swim with dolphins, so I joined this tour, which had great reviews compared to others.

It turned out to be a fantastic choice! First of all, the guide was really nice and amazing! The quality of a tour is definitely important, but the guide makes a huge difference!

The tour itself was filled with dolphins, and I was truly moved. I was surprised to see so many dolphins up close!

Apparently, the types of dolphins on the Big Island are different from those on Oahu, and they swim in large groups, which is why you can see this incredible sight.

I highly recommend it if you visit the Big Island!!

After searching online for family-friendly activities on the Big Island, I decided to go with Aloha Kona Tours, which had great reviews. My son (7 years old) and daughter (9 years old) joined me, and the staff was always attentive. The kids were able to see a pod of dolphins right in front of them while holding onto floating rings.

Although they took breaks due to seasickness, the staff continued to check on them, which made the kids very happy. It was also great that all the staff were Japanese, allowing us to snorkel without any stress. I never imagined I would see so many dolphins jumping and spinning right in front of me; it was incredibly soothing.

They were punctual and very efficient. A waterproof camera is a must. I highly recommend participating as a family. Our summer vacation diary was filled with dolphins.

Reviewed by: hazuki

I heard that you can swim with dolphins, but I was not expecting to be able to swim so close to them, which was truly moving.

I think the small number of participants is also an appeal of this tour. If you're lucky, you might even swim with manta rays. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any manta rays, but we were completely satisfied with just the dolphins.

For those meeting on-site, the meeting location is a bit hard to find, so it's important to confirm it.

イルカと泳げると聞いてましたが、こんなに近くで泳げると思ってませんでしたので感動しました。

参加人数が少ないのも、こちらのツアーの魅力だと思います。運が良ければマンタとも泳げるそうです。私達は残念ながらマンタに会えませんでしたが、イルカだけで大満足でした。

現地集合する方は、集合場所が少し分かりづらいので要確認です。

There were other dolphin tours available, but the limited number of participants was a deciding factor for me. The staff were very accommodating, which made me feel secure participating in the tour. There was one child who joined with their mother, and I appreciated how well the staff interacted with the child.

I was able to see many dolphins up close (the staff were shouting from the boat, directing us to look this way and that. It's surprising how you might miss them even when you're right next to them), and it was a very enjoyable tour. I will definitely participate again when I visit the Big Island.

The staff seemed to almost forget to collect the fees from the participants on the day, so that might be why there were no snacks provided. However, we did receive juice. Well, that's not something I was primarily expecting, so it wasn't a problem at all, but I wanted to mention it for future reference.

I had a great time. Thank you very much.

他にもイルカのツアーはありましたが、定員の数が少ないというのも決め手でした。スタッフのみなさんの対応も大変よくて安心してツアーに参加できました。ひとり、お子さんがお母さんと参加していましたが、そのお子さんに対するスタッフさんの対応も気持ちがよくて私は好きでした。

たくさんのイルカを間近でみることができ（スタッフさんも海の中、船の上からこっち、あっち~と叫んでくださいます。そばにいても意外と気づかなかったりするものなんですね）とても楽しいツアーでした。ハワイ島に行ったらまたぜひ参加します。

当日参加の方の代金の回収すら忘れちゃいそうになってるスタッフさんだったのでその延長かもしれませんが、スナックはありませんでしたね。ジュースはいただきましたけれど。まあ、そこはメインで期待している部分ではないので全然問題ないですが一応記載事項でしたので今後のためにも書いておきます。

楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

3.5-Hour Na Pali Sunset Dinner Cruise with Open Bar on Holo Holo Catamaran

Kauai Sunset Cruise - Na Pali

Reviewed by: Peggy - World Traveler

This was one to remember.

We had a ball. The coast line scenery was breathtaking, just wonderful. Remarkable side of Kauai that you can not see any other way as there are no coastal roads on that side of the island. When you go on this trip you will see why.

This one I would recommend for sure.

Planning for this trip - you will want, flip flops (because you won't wear them on the boat so something light you can take off and leave in their storage locker), camera, sunglasses, and ready for a fun time. The boat is a catamaran and built perfect for this. The Captain and crew were awesome.

They serve dinner as per the tour and its a nice but very informal meal, sit where you can. So, if you are expecting 4 or 5 star and want to sit down and eat on china this you will not get that. But its fine food - teenagers loved it so you get the idea. They have a bar so just watch how much you drink becuase the ride can and does get bouncy.

Great guide. Very informative

Dolphins that bring happiness. 幸せを届けてくれるイルカたち

Reviewed by: 勝俣

After an hour on a swaying boat, I arrived at the point while enjoying the interactions with the other participants and the beautiful blue sky and sea, despite being prone to seasickness. With the gentle and fun guidance of Koichiro and Michi, we had a great encounter with the dolphins, and there were moments when they swam alongside us. Experiencing the graceful and charming movements of the dolphins brought me immense happiness.

揺れるボートで1時間、酔いやすい自分も参加されていた方々からとのふれあいと空と海の青さと輝きで楽しみながらポイントに到着。　幸一郎さん・みちちゃんのやさしく楽しいリードで、しっかりイルカちゃんたちと遭遇、一緒においでくれるところもありました。　いるかの優雅でご愛嬌の泳ぎに気持ちがとっても幸せになること享けあいです

Full of dolphins!! イルカだらけ!!

Reviewed by: 前世イルカ

This was my first time participating in Mr. Nawata's tour, but it was my second time on the dolphin tour in Hawaii Island. Since it was my second time, he tried to take us to a different northern point than last time, but unfortunately, we were informed that there were no dolphins in the north that day... so we moved back to the same southern area as before. However, I was really happy about his consideration.

During the first swim, dolphins were everywhere around me. No matter how many times I went in, there were dolphins all around. Dolphins to the right, dolphins to the left, dolphins in front, behind, and below. They even swam right in front of me on purpose, spinning around, and it felt like I jumped right into the pod! It was truly blissful to swim leisurely while looking into the dolphins' eyes. The ultimate healing experience. I also got to see manta rays swimming gracefully.

Such an exciting and fulfilling activity always feels fresh and brings new discoveries, no matter how many times you experience it. I am grateful for the great nature of Hawaii Island and for Mr. Nawata. Thank you very much.

縄田さんのツアーは初めて参加させていただきましたがハワイ島でのイルカツアーは2度目。
2回目ということで前回とは違う北のポイントに連れて行ってくれようとしてくれましたが、残念ながらその日北にはイルカがいないと連絡が…
以前と同じ南に移動。
しかし、その気持ちがとてもうれしかったです。

1回目のスイムから周り中イルカ。
何度入ってもイルカだらけ。
右にイルカ、左にイルカ、前も後ろも下もイルカ。
私の目の前をわざと横切ったり、くるくる回ってくれたり、群れの中に飛び込んじゃったみたい!
イルカの目を見ながらゆったりと泳げるなんて本当にしあわせ。
最高の癒しです。
ゆったり泳ぐマンタも見ることができました。

こんなにエキサイティングで心が満たされるアクティビティは何度体験しても新鮮で新しい発見があります。
ハワイ島の大自然と、縄田さんに感謝です。
ありがとうございました。

Dolphins and manta rays. いるか達、そして　マンタ

Reviewed by: らむ

Swimming with dolphins has been a dream of mine for many years, perhaps influenced by the show "Flipper" I watched as a child.

I never expected to swim with so many dolphins...

As I entered the water at the call of Mr. Nawata, I found myself surrounded by a pod of dolphins.

The dolphins were swimming in a playful cluster, some were with their young, and when I was focused on the ocean floor, they would suddenly appear right in front of me.

I could even hear the sounds the dolphins made and clearly see their droppings!

Changing spots, I jumped back in at the command of "Okay, go down," and to my surprise, there was even a manta ray! I was so captivated by the manta ray that I completely forgot about the waterproof camera I had bought for this day.

I tried to dive like Leo, who was with us, but unfortunately had to give up due to the weight of the fat on my body.

When I returned to the boat and learned that Leo was a national record holder in freediving and had connections with Jack Mayol, I was astonished...

After enjoying another round of swimming with the dolphins, I felt completely satisfied.

I apologize for any unpleasantness caused by my seasickness during the trip... but it was such an amazing experience that I forgot all about it. I never imagined I would be able to swim with dolphins at such a close distance!!

Next time, I definitely plan to join a manta ray tour. Thank you, Mr. Nawata and Leo. I look forward to seeing you again!

子供の頃に見た「わんぱくフリッパー」の影響からか、
いるかと泳ぐことは、長年の夢でした。（歳がばればれ）

それが、まさか、こんなにもたくさんのいるか達と泳げるとは・・・

縄田さんの掛け声のもと海に入ると、
そこは　もう　いるかの群れの中。

いるか達がだんご状態になって泳いでいたり、
親子連れだったり、
海の底ばかり見ていると、目の前に現れたり。

いるかの発する音や　うんち（！）まではっきりと見えました。

ﾎﾟｲﾝﾄを変えて、
「はい、降りて。」の声のもと再び飛び込むと、
そこには、なんと、マンタまで！！
この日の為に購入した防水デジカメそっちのけで、
マンタに釘付け。

同行されたレオさんを真似て潜ってみようとチャレンジしましたが、身体に背負った脂肪のせいか、あえなく断念。

ボートに戻って伺ったら、なんとレオさん、フリーダイビングの全米記録保持者で、
あのｼﾞｬｯｸ・ﾏｲﾖｰﾙとも親交があったとは・・・

その後、もう一度いるか達との泳ぎを満喫し、
満腹気分で終了となりました。


途中、船酔いのためお見苦しいところをお見せして申し訳ありませんせした・・・
が、船酔いなんて忘れるくらい素晴らしい体験でした。
まさか、いるかが手に届く距離で一緒に泳げるとは思ってもみませんでした！！

次回は、ぜひマンタのツアーに参加しようと思っています。
縄田さん、レオさん、ありがとうございました。
そして、またよろしくお願いいたします。

There are lots of dolphins! イルカがいっぱい！

Reviewed by: かじ

I participated on May 4th.

I had a great time meeting so many dolphins!

I dove into the area where the dolphins were swimming, and I was surprised when a pod came towards me?!

I was able to see many dolphins. There were dolphins jumping and spinning like in a show, playful dolphins, and mother-and-baby dolphins as well.

I felt surrounded, as if I was swimming with them.

I love the sound of dolphins, so being enveloped by their voices made me very happy.

Please be sure to experience it.

I highly recommend it!!

Thanks to Mr. Nawata. I would love to repeat this if I can go back to the Big Island.

5/4に参加させていただきました。

たくさんのイルカに会えてとても楽しかったです！

イルカが泳いでる所にダイブするんですが、イルカの群れが自分に向かってくる？！ってびっくり。

たくさんのイルカを見ることができました。
ショーのようにジャンプして回転してるイルカや
遊び好きなイルカ、親子イルカもいました。

囲まれてまるで一緒に泳いでるような気分になれました。

イルカの声が好きなので、声に包まれる感じでとても幸せでした。

ぜひ体験してみて下さい。

おすすめです！！

縄田さんに感謝。
ハワイ島にまたいけたらリピートしたいと思います

Encounter with a large pod of dolphins. イルカの大群と遭遇

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I encountered a large group of dolphins and swam with them, feeling as if I had become a dolphin myself. Since they are wild, we shouldn't touch them. Although we participated as a family, out of six people, everyone except one child got quite seasick due to the boat and the waves. That said, it was still a very enjoyable experience overall!

イルカの大群に遭遇していっしょに泳ぎ、まるで自分がイルカになったかのような気分。野生なので触ってはいけません。ただ、ファミリーでの参加でしたが、船と海の揺れで6人中子供1人を除いてみんな相当な船酔いしました。それもやむなしで、トータルとても楽しかったです！

I couldn't see the whales!! くじらは見れなかった！！

Reviewed by: あーさん

I participated because it departed from the pier in front of the Hilton and the price was low, but we didn't see any whales, and the one-hour sailing ended in no time.

They mentioned that we could only go as far as Diamond Head (in English), and there was no particular explanation on the way back to the harbor. When I asked for water, it smelled musty...

However, I thought of it as sailing on a yacht and gave up.

I wonder if it's better to go on a larger boat when you really want to see whales? I heard that smaller boats can get closer, so I had quite a bit of expectation, but I thought it might be limited to boats that depart from Ko Olina.

ヒルトン前の埠頭から出発ということと、値段の安さで参加したのですが、クジラは見れないまま、一時間のセイリングはあっという間に終わってしまいました。

ダイヤモンドヘッドの前あたりまでしか行けないようなことを、言ってはいましたが(英語のみ）港に戻る時もとくに説明はなく、水を頼めば、カビ臭いし、、、

でも、ヨットでのセイリングと思って、あきらめました。

やはり、どうしてもクジラが見たい時は、大型船で行く方が良いのかな？
小型の船のほうが、近くまで行けるようなことを聞いたので、結構期待していたのですが、やはり、コオリナからとか出る船に限られるのかな？と思いました。

5-Hour Liko Kauai Catamaran Tour - Na Pali Coast Sea Caves & Snorkel with Lunch

A snorkel cruise without snorkeling

Reviewed by: dan collins

First, let me say it was a fun trip. The crew was awesome; they knew the area and did a great job of explaining everything we saw. The lunch was great. We got to see whales, turtles and dolphins. But when you book a snorkeling cruise because that's what we wanted to do and there's no snorkeling and no explanation as to why, that's why I'd say this is a rip-off.

The breeze felt nice. 風が気持ち良かった

Reviewed by: リンカンぱぱ

The weather was nice on the day of the cruise, and it was a fun experience. The contrast between the buildings of Waikiki and the natural beauty of Diamond Head was very beautiful and moving.

However, it was a bit disappointing for my wife, who had been looking forward to the whale watching cruise since before our trip.

当日は天気も良く楽しいクルージングでした。
ワイキキのビル群とダイヤモンドヘッドの自然の対比が大変きれいで感動しました。

ただ旅行前からホエールウォッチングクルーズを期待していた奥さんにとってはちょっと残念な結果となりました。

It was a wonderful experience. 素晴らしい体験でした。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a family. Thank you for preparing prescription goggles for my nearsighted son. We had the precious experience of being surrounded by dolphins. It was an indescribable emotion. The staff were very kind and their work was professional! When I called the day before, they properly informed me about the meeting place and precautions, which was very helpful. Not only did we see dolphins, but we also spotted manta rays and whales. I felt the beauty of nature on the Big Island, as well as the warmth of the people. The other families who participated were also very friendly, making it a fun time. I absolutely recommend this tour!

家族で参加させていただきました。
近視の息子の為に、度付きのゴーグルまで用意していただいてありがとうございました。
イルカに囲まれるという貴重な体験が出来ました。
これは、言葉では言い表せない感動でした。
スタッフの方は、とても親切で、そして、仕事はプロフェッショナル！前日に電話した時も、きちんと集合場所や注意事項をおしえてくれたので、とても助かりました。
なんと、イルカだけでなく、マンタ、クジラまで見れました。
ハワイ島の自然の素晴らしさだけでなく、人々の温かさも感じました。一緒に参加したご家族の方も、とてもフレンドリーで、楽しいひと時でした。
このツアー、絶対お勧めです！

Unfortunately... 残念ながら・・・

Reviewed by: KEN

I participated in the whale watching tour, but as others have mentioned, it didn't feel like that at all; cruising was the main focus. However, I originally signed up knowing that and thought it would be lucky if I got to see any whales, so I enjoyed it normally. Of course, I didn't see any whales, but I was satisfied...

ホエールウォッチングということで参加しましたが、他の書き込み通りそんな感じはさらさら無い、クルージングがメインです。でも元々それを承知で見れたらラッキーくらいで申し込んだので普通に楽しめました。もちろん？クジラは見られませんでしたけど満足でした。。。

At the end of February, it's still quite cold. Buying a fleece at Ross Dress for Less was the right choice. If the weather had been better, it might have been different!
