I swam with dolphins for the first time!! イルカと初めて泳ぎました！！

Reviewed by: yukky

On September 25th, I participated in this tour for the first time with a female friend. First, the guide picked us up at the hotel. Since we were the only participants, we had the guide all to ourselves, and after the pickup, we went straight to the port. The guide was Mr. Nawa, who was born in Hakata. He was very friendly and, thanks to his proactive advice, we were able to enjoy the tour from start to finish without any confusion, even though it was our first time.

After arriving at the port, we put on wetsuits over our swimsuits and boarded a rubber boat with other groups. I tend to get motion sickness, so I took some medicine beforehand, but I think due to the weather, I was completely fine. Sitting on the rubber boat felt like being on a banana boat, and I forgot about feeling seasick and had a great time. The captain and the crew were very friendly, which helped us relax.

We had three opportunities to watch dolphins. The boat anchored at a point where the dolphins were gathered, and everyone quickly put on their snorkels and fins and jumped into the sea. Even those who aren't confident swimmers will be fine! There are floats available. Once in the water, we all swam towards the dolphins based on the guide's instructions. You can get as close as you want to the dolphins as long as you don't touch them. I swam to my heart's content.

Perhaps it was because of the enthusiasm of everyone participating, but the dolphins swam so close that it felt like we could reach out and touch them, and some dolphins played with us in the same spot for a long time. Underwater, we could hear the cute sounds of the dolphins, and it was truly an experience beyond our expectations. On the way back, we stopped at a beautiful beach that I had never seen before, which was amazing.

The guide also took pictures of us swimming with the dolphins and sent them to us as a keepsake. It was truly a well-organized experience. I think everyone should definitely participate! There were couples and groups among the participants. Although there were no children, everyone had a great time, and I felt it was a highly emotional tour. So, everyone, let's give it a try!

9/25、女友達と初めてこのツアーに参加しました。
まず、ガイドさんがホテルまでピックアップしてくれます。
私達は偶々参加者が私達だけだったこともあり、ガイドさんも一人占めでしたし、ピックアップ後は、港へ直行でした。
ガイドさんは、博多生まれの縄田さん。
気さくに話しかけていただき、また、先を読んだアドバイスのおかげで、初参加でしたが、戸惑うことなくツアーの最初から最後まで存分に楽しめました。
港に到着後は、ウエットスーツを水着の上から着用し、他の団体と一緒にゴムボートに乗り込みました。
私は乗り物酔いが酷いので事前に酔い止めを飲んでいましたが、天候の加減もあるかとは思いますが、全然大丈夫でした。
ゴムボート部分にまたがるとバナナボートみたいで、酔うことも忘れて楽しかったですよ。船長さんも、ボーイズ達も、とってもフレンドリーでしたし、リラックス出来ました。
イルカ鑑賞は三回。
イルカが集まってるポイントへ船をつけてもらい、皆一斉にシュノーケルとフィン付けて海に飛び込みます。
泳ぎに自信がない人も大丈夫！浮きも有りますから。
海に飛び込むと、ガイドさんの声を参考に、イルカの泳いでる場所に向かって一斉に泳ぎます。
イルカには触れなければどれだけでも近づけます。
私も思う存分泳ぎました。
今回参加した皆さんの熱い気持ちが通じたのでしょう、イルカは手が届きそうなくらい近くに、沢山泳いでいて、同じ場所で長い時間遊んでいってくれるイルカ達もいました。
海の中では、イルカの可愛い鳴き声も聞こえますし、本当に期待以上の体験が出来ました。
帰りには、今までに見たこともないような美しいビーチにも立ち寄っていただき、最高でした。
ガイドさんは、イルカと泳いでいる写真もとって下さり、記念に送っていただきました。本当に至れり尽くせりでした。
皆さん、参加する価値めちゃめちゃあると思いますよ！！
参加者はカップルもグループも色々。お子さんはいなかったけど、参加者は皆大いに楽しめ、感動度の高いツアーと思いました。
皆さん、レッツチャレンジですよ！

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＞

I was healed by the dolphins. イルカに癒されました

Reviewed by: DAIZO

I participated in the experience campaign on September 21.

We departed from Honokohau Marina in the Kona area on a very large rubber boat called Sea Wolf.

*Unrelated, but the captain of the Sea Wolf was quite big and muscular, yet he spoke in a high-pitched and cute voice with broken Japanese, which was a bit amusing due to the contrast.

While some may have preferences regarding rubber boats, unlike regular boats, we could all enter the water simultaneously from the side of the boat instead of waiting to enter from the back. This meant that even if dolphins appeared, the chances of missing them due to waiting in line were low, which I personally found very good.

The dolphin point itself is close to the marina, but for those who are prone to seasickness, it's safer to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

Additionally, you can choose from life jackets or floatation devices, so even non-swimmers and children can feel safe. Conversely, for those who can swim, not having a life jacket (especially) allows for more freedom in the water. By the way, I was allowed to swim freely without a wetsuit, life jacket, or floatation device.

Shortly after leaving the harbor, I was surprised at how easily we encountered a pod of about seven dolphins. During the first entry, we were able to see two groups of seven dolphins each.

On the way to explore the dolphins, there seemed to be a manta ray point nearby, and during the second entry, we were able to encounter three manta rays at that point.

The mantas were swimming around that area, and the water depth was about 10 meters, so we could see the mantas from above with plenty of excitement, and for those who could dive, they could see the mantas quite closely.

I was thrilled to see a manta ray swimming with its mouth open to eat plankton for the first time from the front, and I could even see the stripes inside its mouth.

Soon after, during the third entry, perhaps due to luck, the dolphins swam around for a very long time, and at times, I was able to swim with them at a distance of about 50 cm, and they jumped right in front of me, providing quite a show.

体験談キャンペーン実施中だったこともあり、
9月21日に参加してきました。

コナ地区のホノコハウマリーナから、
非常に大きいゴムボート（？）シーウルフ（海狼）号で出発しました。

※関係ないですが、シーウルフ号の船長はかなり体格がよくごつい感じですが、
体の割りにかなり高くてかわいい声で片言の日本語で気さくに話してくれ、
そのギャップがちょっとウケます。

ゴムボート的な船は好き嫌いはあるかもしれませんが
通常のボートと違い後方から海へエントリーするのではなく、
ボートのサイドからみな同時にエントリーできたので、
イルカが現れてもエントリー順番待ちにより
イルカを見逃す可能性が少なくて個人的には非常によかったです。

なお、イルカのポイント自体は、マリーナから近いですが、
酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲んでおいた方が安全です。

また、浮くための道具としては、ライフジャケットや、浮き棒を選べるので、
泳げない人や子供でも安心です。
逆に泳げる人は、（特にライフジャケットは）ない方が自由に泳げて
よいと思います。
ちなみに、私はウェットスーツも、ライフジャケットも浮き棒もなしで
自由に泳がさせてもらいました。


港を出て早々、こんなにも簡単に見つかるものかと
イルカ7匹ぐらいの群れに遭遇し、
1回目のエントリー時は、
イルカ7匹×２（別グループ）を見ることができました。

イルカ探索の道中、近くにマンタポイントもあったようで、
2回目のエントリー時は、
マンタポイントでマンタ3枚にも遭遇することができました。

マンタはそのポイント界隈を回遊しており、
水深はだいたい10メートルないぐらいなので、
上からでも十分な迫力でマンタを見ることができますし、
潜れる人であればかなり近くでマンタを見ることができました。

マンタがプランクトンを食べようと口を空けながら泳ぐ姿を
初めて真正面から見ることができ、さらに口の中の縞々も見ることができて
大興奮でした。


ほどなくして3回目のエントリー時、
運もよかったのか、今回のイルカは非常に長い時間周辺を泳いでくれて
近いときは50cmくらいの距離でイルカと一緒に泳ぐことができたり、
ほんと目の前でジャンプしてくれたりとかなりサービス

Holo Holo Super Kauai Snorkel Tour - Niihau & Na Pali Coast Adventure with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks

What a ride

Reviewed by: dearljade

We really enjoyed this cruise. The Na Pali coast is very beautiful. The breakfast and lunch was great. The snorkeling was fantastic. Getting to see a monk seal basking in the sun was really great. The ride home was the only part of the trip that was challenging. I recommend anyone taking this cruise to take a dramimine before departing. On the ride back the crew passed out plenty of buckets, people were getting sick because of the rough ride. It is not the fault of the crew, the seas are especially rough. The only warning we got ahead of time was that it is an "E" ticket ride on the way back. No one on the boat knew exactly what to expect. We were lucky enough not to be the ones who did get sick. Well worth the money and the views are breath taking. It is an experience we will never forget. The crew was very nice and helpful. Thanks y'all!!

We had a fantastic tour and was even lucky enough to see lots of Dolphins along the way!! Being on the boat was a fun experience (not recommended if you get sea sick as the waves can get very big which makes for a bumpy but fun ride!) and the views of The Na Pali were amazing. Great crew too which made the trip more enjoyable - lots of interesting stories and very welcoming! The food was well prepared and had a good variety too - very tasty!

The crew members were all enthusiastic. 船員さんはみんな熱心でしたよ

Reviewed by: js

I was able to take my time to enjoy the Napali Coast, and I even had the delightful experience of encountering a pod of dolphins along the way. There were detailed safety considerations, so I didn't feel particularly anxious. However, there were hardly any Japanese people, so all the explanations were in English, and due to the noise of the boat, I could hardly understand anything. It's a shame because the guide was doing their best to provide information. I might need to improve my English skills to enjoy it more. Also, during snorkeling, I was surprised by the lack of fish, so I got out of the water quickly. Maybe the waves made it difficult to find a good spot.

ナパリコーストもゆっくりと見ることができ、途中でイルカの群れに遭遇するという嬉しい出来事もありました。安全面も細かい配慮があったので特に不安に感じることもなかったです。ただ、ほとんど日本人がいないので、説明はすべて英語で、船の騒音もあってほとんど理解できませんでした。ガイドさんが一生懸命案内してくれていたのに残念です。もっと楽しむには英語力が必要かもしれません。あと、シュノーケリングは、なぜここで？と思うくらい魚がいなかったので、すぐあがってしまいました。波があるから場所がないのかな。

This is an adventure!! これは冒険！！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was able to see some truly wonderful scenery. We had to leave the hotel at 6 AM when it was still dark, but I’m glad I woke up early!

The captain and the crew greeted us warmly, and as soon as we boarded the boat, a rainbow (a double rainbow!) appeared overhead, instantly dispelling any worries I had! The sunrise from the boat was also incredibly beautiful.

The distance to the Na Pali Coast is quite significant. We picked up speed more than I expected as we headed toward our destination. My body lifted off the seat several times! As someone who loves roller coasters, I really enjoyed it. I was completely absorbed in the scenery passing by.

We zoomed to the turnaround point, and from there, we enjoyed the breathtaking views of the Na Pali Coast while the crew provided explanations. We even got close to the sea caves along the coastline. We were able to see waterfalls in various spots as well.

After enjoying the Na Pali Coast, we headed toward Niihau Island. This also involved quite a distance! We moved through the deep blue sea. There were many birds flying around. As I watched, I saw a bird dive into the water to catch a fish! Watching the birds glide between the waves was mesmerizing.

As we approached the crater next to Niihau Island, the color of the sea became more and more beautiful. I was excited to think, “Can we swim here!?” At the snorkeling spot, we discovered a sea monk! Although I didn’t see it underwater, its little head popping out of the sea was incredibly cute. We were able to see many fish and corals.

The crew on the boat shared various stories with us. They answered our questions politely. I think the cheerful captain and friendly crew really enhanced this activity.

Finally, we zoomed back from Niihau Island to Kauai Island, bouncing quite a bit along the way. The splashes were intense, so it might be a good idea to have a windbreaker. Sitting on the edge, I got splashed so much that I couldn’t keep my eyes open. At first, it was fun, but after an hour, it became a bit troublesome!

For those who want adventure and to feel the great outdoors, definitely give this a try!!! I truly experienced the deep blue sea and felt like I was in a hidden paradise.

とってもすばらしい景色を見ることができました。
6時チェックインとまだ真っ暗ななかホテルを出発することになりましたが、
早起きして良かった！と思います。

キャプテン、船のクルーがフレンドリーにお迎えしてくれて、
上船したらなんと虹(ダブルレインボー)が頭上に現れ、
すぐに不安はふっとびました！笑船からの朝日もとてもきれいです。

ナパリコーストまでは結構距離があります。
予想以上にスピードをだして、目的のポイントまで向かいます。
なんども体が中に浮きました＾＾；ジェットコースターが好きな私は楽しめました。
終始通り過ぎていく景色に夢中でした。

びゅーーーんと折り返し地点まで向かい、そこからはゆっくりと説明を加えながら
ナパリコーストの絶景を楽しめます。
海岸沿いにできているシーケーブ(洞窟)にも接近してもらえました。
いろいろなところに滝をみることもできました。

ナパリコーストを楽しんだら、ニーハウ島へ向かいます。
これもまたかなりの移動距離！真っ青な海のなかを進んでいきます。
鳥がたくさん飛んでいました。ぼーっと観ていたら鳥が海の中に入っていき魚を捕まえていました！
波の合間をすーーと飛んでいく鳥は見ていてあきません。

ニーハウ島の横にできているクレーターに近づくとどんどん海の色がきれいになってきます。
ここで泳げるの！？とテンションは上がり、
シュノーケルスポットではシーモンクを発見！
海中では見られなかったけど海水から頭をぽこっとだした姿はとてもかわいらしかったです。
たくさんの魚やサンゴをみることができました。

船上のクルーはいろいろな話をしてくれます。質問をしたら丁寧に答えてくれます。
愉快なキャプテンとフレンドリーなクルーがこのアクティビティを
盛り上げてくれたと思います。

最後はニーハウ島からカウアイ島までもびゅーーーーんとかなり揺れながら帰って行きます。
スプラッシュもすごいので、ウィンドブレーカーがあればいいかもしれません。
ふちに座ると目が開けられないほどのスプラッシュにかかります。
最初は楽しんでいましたが、1時間も続くと少しやっかいです＾＾；笑

冒険したい方、大自然を感じたい方！ぜひ参加してみてください！！！

Holo Holo Super Kauai Snorkel Tour - Niihau & Na Pali Coast Adventure with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks

Very Nice Day on the Water

Reviewed by: amythann

We love boat rides and this was a great sightseeing and snorkel tour. The boat was comfortable and had good indoor and outside seating. Also two heads which was a nice feature. This is the only boat that crosses the channel from Kauai over to Niihau and the little island of Lehua which is where we snorkeled. They provided fins (we brought our own mask and snorkel) and "noodles" which I appreciated since I am a bit fearful of snorkeling. Also a great spread of cold cuts, with all the trimmings and lots of vegetables, and dessert for lunch. They are very safety-conscious, but I wish there was a better way to impress upon people that the crossing is rough and they should always hold on or sit down, because the constant lecturing got a bit tedious. I definitely recommend doing this trip, though.

This was my first time on Kauai Island. The weather was great, and I got to see the Na Pali Coast, just like in Jurassic Park. It was even better than I had heard.

Along the way, when we spotted a large group of dolphins and birds hunting, the boat got closer. The dolphins seemed used to boats and quickly approached us, which made the kids very happy.

There were three staff members, including a female captain, and they were all very kind and helpful. The meeting point is quite far, and there’s no shuttle service from Lihue or Poipu, so it’s tough without a rental car.

I want to go again!

　カウアイ島は初めてでした。　天気もよくジュラシック・パークの背景のそのままのナ・パリ・コーストを見てきました。　噂以上でした。

　途中イルカの大群や鳥の捕食の様子を見つけると船を近づけてくれました。　イルカは慣れているようで、すぐ船によってきて子供は大喜びでした。


　　スタッフは女性のキャプテンを含めて3人でしたが、とても親切でよくしていただきました。集合場所が遠く、リフエやポイプからでも送迎がないのでレンタカーがないとつらいです。

Thank you for your appropriate response during bad weather. 悪天候時の適切な対応を感謝

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Unfortunately, our trip was canceled due to bad weather, but I wanted to share my experience for future reference. When I called the tour company at 6 PM the evening before our reservation to confirm the boat departure for the next morning, everything was still on schedule. So, we arrived at the port at 6 AM, checked in, and waited around. Then, there was an incredible downpour and strong winds. About 30 minutes after the meeting time, the captain informed us that we would go to the Na Pali Coast, but we wouldn't be able to go near Niihau Island. He explained that those who were going that day would receive a 25% refund on the tour price, and we could either change our schedule or cancel. I felt that the explanation was quite considerate. We decided to change our schedule. The earliest we could reschedule was two days later, so we made the change for that date.

The evening before the new reservation date, I received a call on my registered mobile phone from the tour company, informing me that bad weather was expected again the next morning, and they would have to cancel the tour altogether. Since we didn't have any other available dates, we decided to cancel. They explained that the full amount would be refunded through Alan1, which I understood. The next day, I received an email from Alan1 confirming the full refund, and when I checked my credit card online two days later, the full amount had indeed been refunded. I was relieved by the prompt and appropriate response from both the tour company and Alan1.

Weather is beyond our control, so I hope to try again someday. However, I realized that it's essential to provide your mobile phone number and contact information when booking a tour that can be affected by weather in Hawaii. Additionally, if the tour company doesn't have Japanese-speaking staff, it might be a bit challenging if you don't understand much English. Also, for tours on Kauai, it might be better to book in spring or summer when there are generally more good weather days compared to winter. However, the rain in Kauai has its own charm and can be quite enjoyable.

実際は悪天候によりキャンセルとなり行けなかったのですが、今後の参考になると思い、体験談として書いておきます。予約日前日夕方6時に翌朝のボート出航の確認のため電話したときには予定通りだったので、翌朝6時、港に行き、チェックインを済ませたあとぶらぶら待っていた。そのあと、ものすごい土砂降りと風で、集合時刻30分後に、キャプテンから話があり、ナパリコーストには行くが、ニイハウ島近くには行けないので、今日行く人にはツアー代の25%を返却する、日程を変更することもできるし、キャンセルもできる、という説明でした。説明は良心的だなと感じました。私たちは日程を変更しました。一番早くて２日後ということだったので２日後に予約変更。再予約日の前日夕方、登録していた携帯電話にツアー会社から電話がかかってきて、翌朝も悪天候が予想されツアー自体をキャンセルするということだった。私たちはもうほかの日程の余裕がなかったのでキャンセルすることにしました。ツアー代は全額Alan1を通じて返却されるという説明もあり了解した。翌日にはAlan1から全額返却される旨のメールが届き、インターネットでクレジットカードのオンライン取引明細チェックをしたらその２日後にはツアー代全額が返却されていた。ツアー会社およびAlan1の迅速で適切な対応に安心しました。天候はどうしようもないのでいつかまたチャレンジしたいと思います。ただこのような天候に左右されるツアーのときはハワイでの携帯電話や連絡先を必ず届けておくことが大切だと感じました。また日本語ができるスタッフがいないツアー会社だと少し英語がわからないととまどうことがあるかもしれません。またカウアイ島のツアーだと冬よりも春や夏の方が天気が良い日が多いかもしれません。しかしカウアイの雨もなかなか味わいがあっていいものです。

Napali Cruise ナパリクルーズ

Reviewed by: ころころ

On November 21, I went to Holoholo Charters. My family participated, and the weather was great, making it a very pleasant experience.

We were the only four Japanese people on board. I was worried about seasickness, so I took some motion sickness medication beforehand, but I had no worries that day at all. It seemed like no one was feeling seasick.

We started with snorkeling right away. There weren't many fish, but it was decent enough.

After that, we ordered some beers, which were delicious. Then we headed towards Napali, and on the way, we spotted a sea turtle. The staff pointed it out to us. Eventually, we encountered a pod of dolphins. They came quite close for a while, and we were able to watch them for a good amount of time. There seemed to be quite a few of them, and they were adorable.

After that, we headed towards Napali and saw filming locations for Jurassic Park, King Kong, and Pirates. The views were absolutely stunning, and I truly felt it was worth coming. The staff provided a lot of explanations, but since it was all in English, I didn't understand everything. My sister occasionally translated for me, but even without understanding, it was enjoyable. We got close to birds nesting on the cliffs and approached caves, which had many highlights and was quite impressive.

On the way back, we had lunch and returned to the port, but after eating, we suddenly felt very sleepy, and our family was the only one that fell into a deep sleep. I thought it was funny that we were the only ones sleeping while everyone else seemed so energetic. Some people were sitting outside the boat or lounging around, and it felt great with the wind blowing. The foreigners were getting sunburned from direct sunlight. Everyone seemed satisfied.

I think anyone visiting Kauai for the first time should definitely participate in this experience.

11月21日にホロホロチャーターズに行ってきました。
家族で参加したのですが天気もよくとても気持ちがよかったです。

日本人は私たち4人だけでした。船酔いが心配だったので事前に酔い止めを飲みましたがこの日は全く心配なかったです。船酔いしている人もいないようでした。

最初すぐにシュノーケルをしました。あんまりお魚はいませんでしたがまあそこそこという感じでした。

そのあとビールなど頼めばくれてとってもおいしかったです。
その後ナパリへむかうのですが途中ウミガメがいました。スタッフが教えてくれます。
その後ついにイルカの群れにも出会う事ができました。暫くイルカに近づいてくれて結構ながく見れました。かなりの頭数がいた感じです。かわいかったです。

そのあと ナパリに向かってジュラシックパークやキングコングやパイレーツなどの撮影したところをみました。
すばらしい絶景で、来てよかったとほんとに思いました。スタッフのかたがものずごく説明してくれるのですがなんせ英語なので詳しくはわかりませんでした。妹がちょくちょく通訳してくれたのですがわからなくても楽しいと思います。崖に巣を作っている鳥の近くにいったり洞窟に接近したりなかなか見所があって迫力がありました。

帰りはランチがあってまた港に戻りますがご飯食べた後は急に眠くなり私達の家族だけ爆睡でした。
寝ているのは私達だけでみんな元気だなーって思いました。
船の外に座ったりごろごろしたり皆適当にくつろいで風が気持ちよくて最高でした。外国人の方は直射日光をあびてあかーくなってました。
皆さん満足しているようでした。
カウアイ島の初めて行く人は是非参加した方がいいと思います。

A tour that allows you to indulge in the beautiful scenery of Kauai. 美しいカウアイの景色を欲張れるツアー

Reviewed by: むうむ

The Na Pali Coast is definitely best viewed from the sea and the sky. My husband and I highly recommend this tour, which allows you to experience this dynamic scenery up close. You can see wild dolphins swimming alongside the boat and catch glimpses of the leisurely honu (sea turtles). Since it's not easy to get close to Niihau Island, this plan allows you to learn about its history through announcements during the tour. Of course, there’s plenty of time for snorkeling, and you can swim freely at beautiful coral spots. The tour includes floats, fins, and masks, so you can participate with just your swimsuit (a windbreaker and long-sleeved swimsuit are also recommended if you have them).

The boat is large, new, and comfortable, but it does speed up quite a bit on the way there and back, so it's wise to be cautious of seasickness. It can be quite bumpy (though it might have just been the sea conditions on the day we participated). Even if you think you won't get seasick, please bring seasickness medication just in case.

I recommend standing on the deck to enjoy the dynamic and beautiful scenery rather than staying inside the boat, so having a windbreaker is very helpful. Experienced couples and families (including those from overseas) were well-prepared with adventure gear. The buffet-style sandwiches served for lunch are delicious, even better than breakfast! It seems that many adults participated, as you can casually enjoy beer (after snorkeling).

ナ・パリコーストは絶対に海から、空から眺めるのが良いという感想。私たち夫婦はこのダイナミックな景色を間近に体感できるこのツアーをお勧めします。野生のイルカが船と一緒に泳ぎ、ホヌののんびりした姿を垣間見ることができ　ニイハウ島はなかなか近くまで行くことができないため　このプランだと歴史のアナウンスとともに知ることができます。もちろん、シュノーケルの時間もたっぷりあって美しいサンゴのスポットで自由に泳ぐことができます。このツアーには浮きやフィン、マスクなどがついてるので　水着と（あればウィンドブレーカーと長袖の水着がなお良い）身一つで参加できるので良いです。　　ただ、船は大型で新しいもので快適ですが　途中と帰り道はかなり飛ばすので　船酔いには気をつけたほうがいいです。相当揺れます。（私たちの参加した日の海の状況がそうだっただけかもしれませんが）船酔いしないよ！と思う方でもぜひ船酔い止めをご持参ください。
船のなかでなく、甲板に立ちダイナミックな美しい景色を鑑賞しながらの参加がおすすめなのでウィンドブレーカーがあるととてもいいですよ。
こなれたカップルやご家族（海外の方）さんたちはそういう冒険グッズの用意が周到でした。
朝ごはんよりランチに出るバイキング形式のサンドウィッチが美味しいですよ★ビールも気軽に（シュノーケルのあとですが）飲めるので大人の参加が多かったように思います。

We were so happy that the training was part of the package. 20 minutes out, we were sailing like pros. It felt great! No motor noise or obnoxious diesel. I can't tell you how therapeutic it felt, with the beautiful sunset, the incomparable views, a steady but light wind, and even a little of the famous Hilo rain--just enough to be refreshing. We can't wait to do it again, next time we come back. It was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii. We are so glad you provide this great option for folks like us who are visiting and for the local folks who live near Hilo.

We are thinking about the possibility of a one-month sailing vacation within the Hawaiian Islands, with you as our Captain, of course. The Prelude is a fantastic boat, and very well appointed.

Hilo Bay Private Afternoon Sailing Cruise (from Hilo Bay)

Hi, Capt. Dan.

Reviewed by: Trudy W.

Thanks for the great sail inside Hilo Bay. We were worried about getting seasick, but you convinced us that it would be calm within the bay. It was like riding in a car with no motor! Most of the time we were well-balanced and the ride never caused us any problem at all.

Thanks again, so much. We'll be back to do it again, and we'll tell all our friends about you.

We had another great experience with this adventure. The crew was great, the experience was great and the views were great. We were so well taken care of and given the guidance we needed to enjoy the snorkeling for the first time. Definately worth the trip!

We just had to write you and express our thanks for our wonderful day trip to Lanai with you this past June. The pod of spinner dolphins that we saw were spectacular - so graceful and we got to see them up close and personal. We couldn't believe how much they like to jump...we got some GREAT pictures. Thanks again!

Boom Boom Sport Fishing Shared & Private Charter (from Waianae Harbor)

Mahalos

Reviewed by: Chris

Aloha Tony, Just wanted to say big mahalos for a great day on the water. That was the best charter fishing trip I've ever taken. You and Max kicked ass and never stopped working for us out there. Too bad we couldn't nail an ono and get the "clean sweep", but that big spearfish, big mahimahi, and the ahis were definitely good for a day's worth of excitement. Plus, that big marlin hitting the 2 lines on the starboard side and then launching himself into the air was just awesome. Too bad he spit the hook, but we'll get 'em next time. Keep up the great work, and I'll see you soon.

Howdy from Canada! Just wanted to drop you a line (no pun intended) to say Thanks for the AWESOME day of fishing we had with you. You and your crew did a great job in putting us onto lot's of fish!!! You helped where you could, and showed patience when we screwed up. What a great bunch of guys!! I lost count somewhere between 60 and 70 Ahi and Aku combined, plus a good Mahi Mahi. There must have been close to 80 fish in all!! I will be telling everyone I know who might be going to Hawaii about your operation, and you can bet that when we come back, we will look you up for another day of fun. Thank you for a day we will never forget.

My husband and I loved this sunset sail. The food was absolutely scrumptious and the views of the cliffs of Na Pali, the dark ocean and the orange and purple sky were just amazing and priceless. Thank you for adding so much to our vacation!

Just wanted to thank you for a great day on the ocean. Cutty, Raina and Taka have a priceless Hawaiian memory and I have a freezer full of Mahi! Cutty (who is a chef) grilled some and topped it with homemade corn/black bean/yellow bell pepper salsa, a dollop of sriracha/mayo sauce, and nori-strip garnish -- it was the best fish I've ever eaten. No joke, even my kids asked for more (and they don't even like fish). Cutty was so happy, he went to Hana Paa and bought one of those yellow mahi flags, so he can frame it when he gets back to PA. And Taka began his lecture at UH by showing the pics of our Mahi! Which confused the audience, and amused me to no end. Yeah, we all had a great time and will never forget that day. Thanks again. Peace, Nate

Boom Boom Sport Fishing Shared & Private Charter (from Waianae Harbor)

Hawaiian Fishing Trip

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We went on the full day charter. The captain and crew really knew what they were doing, because we caught a variety of fish. It is quite an experience when you are reeling in a fish that weighs over 40lbs. It was a rewarding experience to fight with a fish and eventually get it aboard the ship. We were on the Boom Boom II, which was a really beautiful boat. When you felt like you were getting sun burnt, you could go into the cabin and relax in the shade, which probably saved a few of us from getting burnt.

Holo Holo Super Kauai Snorkel Tour - Niihau & Na Pali Coast Adventure with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks

Snorkel tour

Reviewed by: Illusiv1

This was an awesome experience even though the weather did not cooperate and we could not go to Niihau. Due to the tradewinds and some seriously rough seas we could not make the trip to Niihau. We found the crew very pleasant and accommodating. The views were incredible and we were able to take in an amazing whale watching session. As noted by the several this is more of a summer time tour because the weather and seas are more predictable. I believe we missed out on a bunch by not going to Niihau but the whale experience made up for it. The large boat size provides plenty of room so it's not real crowded. We saw other boats on similar trips and they appeared to be more crowded. We would HIGHLY recommend this trip.
