Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona

Equally awe-inspiring and nerve-wracking

Reviewed by: Darra

I only add the nerve wracking part as it was something I did with a little trepidation - the idea of swimming in the ocean, in the dark, in the cold with a little tube to breathe through... However, I like to do something that scares every once in a while as the fear usually is nothing when actually doing the activity and this one was definitely the case in this experience. The guides were excellent and talked everyone through and kept everyone relaxed. You had a half wet suit to help with the cold; the water was lit up (to attract the plankton and mantas); the snorkel you soon forgot once you were floating in pure amazement and smiles as these giants swooped below you and then treated to the bright white display of them underneath as they rolled to eat up the plankton. Complete gentle giants; and not at all scary but just delightful

ウミガメシュノーケリング　ホロカイ・カタマラン号　高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ！ソフトドリンク&スナック付き＜3時間／英語／ワイキキホテル発＞

I had a great time!! とっても楽しかった！！

Reviewed by: ako

I had a great time, so I’ll share some information for those who are new or considering a snorkeling experience. I hope this helps!

- The experience takes place on the left side as you exit the beach, where two blue umbrellas are set up. I confirmed at that time that fins are available for free (are they included in the experience plan?) so you don’t need to bring your own.

- Although it wasn't mentioned in the list of things to bring, if you are prone to motion sickness, especially seasickness, it's definitely a good idea to take some medication. The boat moves quite fast in the latter part of the experience, which might be a bit scary for those who are not fond of roller coasters.

- You can bring drinks, but it’s not necessary. Drinks are available for purchase on the boat (you pay when you disembark), so if you don’t want to carry extra items, I recommend buying them on the boat.

- During snorkeling, you can see schools of fish and turtles. I was able to see the turtles come up for air a couple of times, which was really close and exciting.

Wishing you a great experience!

楽しかったことは言うまでもないので、初めての方や、シュノーケリング体験を考えている方のための情報を書き込んでいきます。参考になれば幸いです。

・体験場所は、ビーチを出て左側に、青いパラソルが2つ並んだ場所で行います。
この時確認しましたが、フィン(足ひれ)は無料(体験プランの中に料金が入ってる？)で貸してくれるとのことでした。持参しなくても大丈夫でした。

・持参するものの中に書かれていませんでしたが、もちろん乗り物酔い、特に船酔いをする可能性がある人は、酔い止めを必ず飲んだ方がいいです。体験の後半かなりのスピードで船が移動します。ジェットコースターが苦手な方には、ちょっと怖いレベルかもしれません。

・飲み物は持参しても、しなくてもかまいません。船の中で有料(降りる時に支払います)で販売しているので、荷物が増えるのが嫌な方は船で買うことをオススメします。

・シュノーケリングについては、魚の群れや亀を見ることができます。亀は2回ほど息継ぎのため上がってきて間近で見ることができました。

良い体験になることを祈っております！

Shark Diving Hawaii - Cageless Pelagic Snorkel Tour with FREE Photos & Videos

An unforgettable experience!

Reviewed by: Casey

My wife and I had such a great experience! The sharks come close but stay at a safe distance. The guides are very knowledgeable about the ocean and have utmost respect for the sea. I recommend taking the earliest trip to have the calmest sea so you don’t have to work too hard fighting waves and currents. A+ outfit!

イルカ大学　イルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングクルーズ　イルカと泳ぐプランも！マリンアクティビティも充実＜ランチ付き／日本語／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可＞

The hospitality of the staff is wonderful! Of course, the dolphins are wonderful too! スタッフの方々のおもてなしが素晴らしい！　もちろんイルカも素晴らしい！

Reviewed by: くみにゃん

I was very anxious about participating with my 4-year-old child who can't swim, but the staff said, "I'll take good care of you, so you just enjoy yourself," which I was really grateful for. They held my daughter securely both in the water and on the boat, and she seemed to feel safe.

The other people were also friendly and would check in on us, creating an easy-going atmosphere where it was comfortable to ask questions.

And we encountered dolphins! At a distance of about two meters! We came across a group of about eight, and two of them swam alongside me. They looked directly into my eyes, and I looked back at them… it was an unexpected moment of eye contact! It may have been a very brief time, but it felt like we were together for a long time in the blue sea, and I will never forget that memory. It was an event that made me realize that even in middle age, there are still things that can move me so deeply.

We also met a sea turtle. It was swimming leisurely and had an impressive presence.

I recommend renting a wetsuit. The first boat departs at 7:30 AM, and the wind after getting out of the water can be quite cold. My husband, who has a bit more body fat, didn’t seem cold at all, but my child and I felt chilly even in wetsuits. Also, I recommend bringing motion sickness medication. The prestigious Dolphin University uses a double-hulled boat, so it doesn't rock much, but it's a good precaution just in case you start to feel unwell.

4歳の泳げない子どもを連れての参加でしたので、非常に不安でしたが、スタッフの方が「私がちゃんとケアするから、あなたはしっかり楽しんで」と言ってくださり、本当にありがたかったです。
実際、娘を海の中でも船の上でもしっかりと抱きかかえてくれて、娘も安心していたようです。
他の方々も、ことあるごとに声をかけてくださるし、何かあれば聞きやすいフレンドリーな雰囲気です。

そしてイルカ、出会えましたよ！　しかも２メートルくらいの至近距離で！　8頭くらいの群れと出会ったのですが、うち2頭が私と並行に泳いでくれたんです。そして私の目をじっと見て、私も彼らの目を見て…まさかのアイコンタクト！　それはとても短い時間だったのでしょうが、音が一瞬聞こえなくなり、青い海のなかでとても長い間一緒にいたような気がしました。一生忘れられない思い出です。中年になっても、こんなに感動できることがまだあったのかと思うくらいの出来事でした。

ウミガメ先生にも出会えましたよ。ゆったりと泳いでらして、すごい貫禄でした。

ウェットスーツのレンタルはおススメです。第1便だと7時半出港ですから、水から上がったあとの風はかなり冷たいです。肉付きのよい夫は全然寒くなかったようですが、私と子どもはウェットスーツを着ていても寒かったです。
それから、酔い止めのお薬の持参をおススメします。名門イルカ大学は双頭船なのでさほど揺れませんが、気分が悪くなってはもったいないので念のためのお守りです。

We had a great time as a family. 親子で楽しめました。

Reviewed by: mai

I participated with my son. Since we used it a few days before summer vacation, my son, who is 10 years old, was the only child, but both adults and children enjoyed it.

It's quite a physically demanding tour, but it's fine for kids. Even those who can't swim were able to enjoy it with the support of the staff. I was thrilled to swim with dolphins on my third attempt. The place where we first dove was astonishingly beautiful, and that alone was moving. I also got to swim with sea turtles, and we had a lot of fun with sea kayaking, slides, and stand-up paddleboarding.

My son also had a great time playing with the staff. The hamburgers were excellent.

There were a few people who got seasick, so it's essential to take motion sickness medication if you participate. Even though my son and I usually don't get seasick, we took it just in case, and I think that was the right decision.

I purchased photos for $65 on a USB. If you download them, it's $60. There are about 500 photos from the entire tour that day.

息子と2人で参加しました。夏休みの数日前に利用したためか、子どもは10才のうちの息子のみでしたが、大人も子どもも楽しめました。

けっこう体力がいるツアーですが、子どもでも大丈夫。泳げない方もスタッフの方のフォローで楽しんでました。３回目のチャレンジでイルカと泳げて感激しました。始めにダイブした場所は海が驚くほどキレイで、それだけでも感動。海亀とも泳げて、シーカヤックやスライダー、サップもできてホントに楽しかったです。

息子もスタッフの方に沢山遊んでもらって良かったです。ハンバーガーも絶品でした。

船酔いでダウンの方も数名いらっしゃったので、参加の際は酔い止めは必須です。普段は酔わない私達親子も念のため飲んで行きましたが、正解だったと思います。

写真は65ドルでUSBを購入しました。ダウンロードだと60ドルです。その日のツアー全体の写真が500枚くらいになります。

カハラホテル＆リゾート　ドルフィン・クエスト　イルカとの触れ合い体験プログラム！

I was really very disappointed. 本当にとてもガッカリしてしまいました。

Reviewed by: Disappointed

Participation of a 5-year-old boy alone

I read in other people's experiences that it was okay not to understand English, but in our case, we were in a group of five (four of whom were children from English-speaking countries), and there was no particular support, which made my son feel quite isolated. The instructor initially taught us about the size of the dolphins, but since we couldn't understand the words, we waited for what felt like thirty minutes for the explanation to finish. At one point, my son had a gloomy expression and said, "I don't understand what they're saying, so this isn't fun at all." I regretted participating in this program.

After that, we finally entered the pool and had a photo session with the dolphins, but compared to the other four, my son clearly had fewer poses. For example, we took turns kissing the dolphin for photos, but my son's turn was skipped. When it came to swimming with the dolphin for photos, he was skipped again. And when it was time to feed the dolphin for photos, he was skipped once more. I seriously wondered if this was some form of discrimination.

Still, I held onto a faint hope that they might take photos of him later, but as expected, my wish was not fulfilled until the end. He was skipped so many times that I thought about going to the reception to ask for photos, but by the time I circled the pool, the program had ended. I couldn't bring myself to ask to go back into the pool for photos again, so I gave up, but I felt regret and tears came to my eyes.

It seemed like he was ignored because he couldn't speak English.

Later, when we were choosing the photos to purchase, none of the poses I had initially requested were available, and there wasn't a single good photo, which was disappointing. I regretted coming all this way and paying a high price for the photos. I managed to buy a few photos, but every time I look at them, I feel sad, so I’ve put them away.

I apologize for the lengthy message, but if your child is going to participate, I wouldn’t recommend it unless they are fluent in English like a native speaker. I think it would be fine for adults.

５歳男子一人参加

他の方の体験談に、英語がわからなくても大丈夫と書いてありましたが、
うちの場合は5人グループ(うち4人は英語圏の子供達)で、
特にフォローもなく疎外感がかなり強かったみたいです。
インストラクターの方が、最初にイルカの大きさなどを教えてくれましたが
言葉がわからず、数十分(恐らく30分程度？)ひたすら説明が終わるのを待っていました。途中「何を言ってるかわからないから、ちっとも楽しくないね。」と暗い顔をしていたのでこのプログラムに参加したことを後悔しました。

そのあといよいよプールに入って、イルカと撮影をしてくれましたが、
他の4人と比べて明らかにポーズが少なかったです。
例えば順番ずつイルカにキスをする写真を撮るのですが、息子の番だけスキップされました。
順にイルカと泳ぎ写真を撮る、息子だけスキップ。
順にイルカに餌をあげる写真を撮る、息子だけスキップ。
これは人種差別なのか？と割と真剣に悩みました笑

それでも後から撮ってくれるかもと淡い期待をいだいておりましたが、
予想通り最後まで願いが叶うことはありませんでした。
あまりにスキップされるので、受付に写真を撮って欲しいと言いに行こうと思いプールをぐるりと周っている間にプログラムが終了しました。
まさかもう一度プールに入って写真を撮ってくれなんて言えませんでしたので諦めましたが、悔しくて少し涙が出ました笑

息子が英語が話せないから、存在を無視されていたようでした。

あとから購入する写真を選ぶのですが、最初に希望を伝えていたポーズも無く、良いものが一枚もなかったので落胆しました。
高いお金を払って写真を撮ってもらいに来たのに、と後悔しました。
なんとか写真を数枚購入しましたが見るたびに悲しい気持ちになるので、しまいこんでいます。

長くなりましたが、お子様が参加されるのであれば英語がネイティブ並みに堪能でないとおすすめしません。大人なら大丈夫だと思います。

It was beyond what I expected! 思った以上でした！

Reviewed by: まぁたん

I participated in the premium Japanese guided tour from 10 AM with my 2-year-old child.

I had assumed the guide would be Japanese, but it turned out to be Jim, a tall Westerner who had previously lived in Japan and spoke very fluent Japanese. He was a gentleman with a kind personality, attentive to details, and very friendly towards children.

I joined this tour because I wanted to show my child the underwater world, so I didn't have high expectations for the tour itself based on the reviews. However, it was fun to see artificial reefs and sea turtles up close. I believe this was largely thanks to Jim's detailed explanations. As a licensed scuba diver, Jim had impressive knowledge, and his explanations were very thorough and enjoyable!

When I visit Hawaii next time, I definitely want to join this tour again, specifically hoping to have Jim as our guide. Thank you, Jim!

If you want to enjoy Jim's explanations on this tour, I recommend going down the stairs from the entrance on the right side when boarding the submarine to sit in the front row. You can also see the control seat and sit close to the guide, which is a great option!

10時〜のプレミアムの日本語ガイドツアーに2歳児を連れて参加しました。　

てっきり日本人ガイドかと思いきや、ジムさんという長身の欧米人で、以前に日本に住まわれていた、とても上手な日本語を話される方でした。お人柄も紳士的で、細やかな気遣いをされる、子どもにも優しいとても素敵な方でした。

今回、子どもに海の中を見せてあげたく参加したので、口コミを見てツアー自体にはあまり期待はしていなかったのてすが、人工魚礁やウミガメを間近で見られて楽しかったです。それもやはりガイドのジムさんの細やかな解説のお陰かと思います。ジムさんはスキューバダイビングのライセンス保有者なので流石の知識量で、解説がとても細やかで楽しかったです！
　
次にハワイを訪れる際も、またこちらのツアーを是非ジムさん目当てで参加させて頂きたいと思います。ジムさん、ありがとうございました。

もし、このツアーでジムさんの解説を楽しみたいのであれば、潜水艦に乗り込むときに向かって右の入り口から階段を降りると先頭の席に座れます。操縦席も見られ、ガイドさんの近くに座れるのでオススメですよ☆

I was glad to be able to make a late-night boarding reservation! 遅い時間の乗船予約ができて助かった！

Reviewed by: kat

This tour is greatly enjoyed by my third-grade child. We booked the submarine tour here for the second time, following last year. The deciding factor was that they offered late boarding times. In Hawaii, there are plenty of activities, allowing you to schedule various tours in one day. On this day, we had a packed itinerary, enjoying snorkeling at Hanauma Bay after climbing Diamond Head for sunrise, followed by the submarine tour. As far as I searched, the only option for a 3 PM boarding reservation (confirmed the next day after the request) was through VELTRA, which allowed us to have a fulfilling day. The issuance of the reservation confirmation and the transportation service are comparable to other companies, so I highly recommend it. There is a Japanese audio guide available on board, so there’s no need to worry.

小3の子供が大変気に入っているツアーです。昨年に続き、2度目の潜水艇乗船をこちらで予約しました。決め手になったのは、遅い時間の乗船予約が可能だったからです。ハワイでは、アクティビティが充実しているので1日に様々なツアーを組むことができ、この日もダイヤモンドヘッド日の出登頂後にハナウマ湾でシュノーケルを楽しんだ後の潜水艇ツアーと盛り沢山な内容でした。検索した限り、15時の乗船予約(リクエスト後、翌日に確定)はVELTRAさんだけでしたので、おかげで充実した1日を過ごすことができました。予約確定書の発行や送迎も他社ツアーと遜色ないので大変オススメです。艇内ではイヤホンによる日本語ガイドがあるので特に心配不要です。

ウミガメシュノーケリング　ホロカイ・カタマラン号　高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ！ソフトドリンク&スナック付き＜3時間／英語／ワイキキホテル発＞

It was an incredibly fun activity!!! 最高に楽しいアクティビティでした！！！

Reviewed by: もりもり

I had an incredibly fun experience with the activities. I thought the meeting time was until 8:30, but people started gathering around that time. I had read in reviews that there were hardly any Japanese people here, but that you could manage even without speaking English. However, there were a few groups of Japanese people besides myself, and there were also some groups speaking English, so I asked them to help translate.

When it was time, the woman at the reception said, "Follow me!" and guided us to board the Holokai Catamaran. It turns out you have to be barefoot on the yacht. Also, since boarding is from the beach and not the dock, if you wear pants that shouldn’t get wet, you will almost certainly get wet when boarding. I recommend changing into your swimsuit at this point.

I was able to see two sea turtles, a mother and her baby. They came up to the surface several times, but I missed seeing them. When the sea turtles are spotted, the divers will say, "Come on!!" so you will almost certainly encounter them. Other tour groups were also at the same spot. It was stated that fins were available for a fee, but everyone was given them for free. I wonder if that has changed?

After snorkeling, we enjoyed sailing with the sails catching plenty of wind. The outboard motor was lifted, so it was completely sail-powered. We sailed close to Diamond Head. During sailing, snacks were free, but drinks were for purchase. I felt a bit seasick from the waves while snorkeling, and since the boat was still rocking during sailing, I thought I would get seasick again. However, while chatting with the group that helped translate, I didn’t feel seasick at all. Interestingly, the locals were drinking beer and alcohol quite freely. I wonder how they don’t get seasick...

Especially after snorkeling, the sailing was refreshing and felt great. If you’re not worried about seasickness, I think enjoying a beer would be the best.

I thoroughly enjoyed both snorkeling and sailing.

最高に楽しいアクティビティが体験できました。
集合は、8:30までかと思ったら、8:30になったらパラパラと人が集まってきた感じでした。
ここの体験談で、日本人がほぼ皆無だが、英語ができなくてもなんとかなるというのを見ていたのですが、私以外にも何組か日本人のグループがおり、英語を話していたグループの方もいたので、その人達に声をかけ通訳の代わりをしてもらいました。

時間になったら受付の女性の方が「Follow me!」と言って乗船するホロカイ・カタマラン号まで案内してくれました。
ヨットの中では裸足でないと駄目だそうです。
そして乗船は桟橋ではなく砂浜からなので、濡れては行けないズボンを履いていくと乗るときにほぼ確実に濡れます。
この時点で脱いで水着になっておくことをお薦めします。

ウミガメは２匹の親子が見れました。
何度か水面に上がってきたそうですが、自分は見そびれました。
ウミガメが見えたらダイバーの方が「Come on!!」って教えてくれますので、ほぼ確実にウミガメに出会えるでしょう。
そして、他のツアーのグループも同じポイントにいました。
フィン（足ヒレ）は有料と書いてありましたが、全員無料で貸してくれました。変わったのかな？

シュノーケリングのあとは、帆にいっぱい風を受けてセーリング。
船外機は引き上げられているので、完全に無動力です。
ダイヤモンドヘッドの近くまでセーリングしてくれました。
セーリング中は、スナック菓子はFree。ドリンクは有料。
シュノーケリング中に波に乗って若干船酔い気味で、セーリング中も揺れているのでこのままでは船酔いすると思い、波風に当たりながら、通訳をしてくれたグループの方々と喋っていたら、船酔いは全くしなかったです。
その点、現地人であろう方々は、ビールや酒をガブガブ飲んでいました。
酔わないんだろうか・・・。

特にシュノーケリングの後のセーリングは、シュノーケリングの疲れを癒やしてくれて気持ちよかったです。
船酔いが心配なければ、ビールも飲めて最高だったと思います。

シュノーケリングとセーリング、どちらも十分に楽しめました。

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise

Definitely a memorable experience.

Reviewed by: Diana T

We thoroughly enjoyed the Manta Ray excursion. The tour guide was great with telling us about the history of this tour and details about the behavior and nature of these Manta Rays. My daughter was most impressed. Although she’s 9yo and a good swimmer, she was still a little nervous about snorkeling at night and meeting these Manta Rays that could come inches to your face. However, the tour guide has made everyone felt safe and she was able to enjoy the magnificence of these gentle sea creatures. Highly recommended

Dolphins are too cute! イルカ可愛すぎる

Reviewed by: gohira

I was worried about not being able to see any dolphins, but I ended up seeing a lot of them. I was so absorbed in dolphin watching that before I knew it, my husband and I had separated while watching. It was also fun dancing on the boat!

イルカに会えなかったら？と不安もありましたが、たくさんのイルカに会えました
イルカ鑑賞に夢中で、気付けば夫婦バラバラになって見てました。笑
船の上でのダンスも楽しくて良かったです

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Morgen an Board!!!

Reviewed by: Mary

Das Boot hatte eine schöne Größe. Zuerst sind wir zum Schnorcheln raus gefahren und anschließend weiter. Hier konnten wir uns vorne ins Netz legen und die Wellen und die Sonne genießen. Sehr schön!

アトランティス潜水艦ツアー　ハワイの海底30mを進む海中アドベンチャー ＜ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発／日本語ナレーション（要事前ダウンロード）＞

aquarium 水族館

Reviewed by: まきんぼ

I participated with my son, who is slightly taller than 92 cm. I was really worried about the height restrictions and what would happen if they said something, but we were able to board without any checks at all. This might have just been for this time, though.

The ladder to the submarine is steep, so children who aren’t good at climbing up and down in parks or playgrounds might feel a bit uneasy.

Once you dive, it really feels like an aquarium, and it’s hard to experience the sensation of being on a submarine. That was a blind spot for me. My son got bored quickly since we often go to the local aquarium, which was disappointing. The adults enjoyed it, though. We were lucky to see a sea turtle! But I did get seasick.

All seats were by the window with Japanese commentary. I think choosing the premium option at this time was the right decision.

92cmよりやや大きめくらいの身長の息子と参加しました。身長制限のこと、何か注意されたらどうしよう！と気が気じゃなかったのですが、全くチェックせずに乗船できました。今回だけかもしれませんが。

潜水艦へのハシゴは急なので、公園や遊び場などで上り下りしっかりできない子供はちょっと不安かもしれません。

潜ってしまうともう、まさに水族館といった感じで、潜水艦に乗っている！という臨場感は味わいにくいですね。盲点でした。
よく近所の水族館に行っているので、息子はすぐ飽きてしまって、残念でした。
大人は楽しめました。
ウミガメが見れました。ラッキー！
でも、船酔いしました。

日本語解説付きの全席窓際でした。この時間のプレミアムを選んだのは正解だったと思います。

イルカ中学　野生のイルカ＆ウミガメシュノーケリングクルーズ　高速ボートでイルカ遭遇率アップ！＜少人数制／ワイキキ＆コオリナ送迎可／日本語／ランチ付き＞

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

Reviewed by: su70

The pickup was at 5:50 AM.
Just as the rumors said, Julie was amazing! She was very cute and full of energy, and thanks to her, the tour was a lot of fun!
I was feeling uneasy due to lack of sleep, jet lag, and being prone to seasickness, but I thought I could manage with some motion sickness medication.
The boat didn't sway too much, but after we got into the water for a while, I started to feel seasick.
However, I forgot about feeling sick because I was so focused on taking pictures of the dolphins, and I even saw baby dolphins!
When we returned to the boat to move to the sea turtle point, I remembered that I had been feeling sick.
The sea turtles swam really close to us, and there were so many of them; it was truly moving.
On the way back, I completely crashed and slept the whole time, but I think it was a great tour!
The crew members were all really nice. It was the best.

Since it was cold, I definitely recommend borrowing a wetsuit (everyone in our group borrowed one).
I also think it's a good idea to bring a bath towel (it gets cold after you take off the wetsuit).
You'll be swaying on the sea for about three hours, so motion sickness medication is a must. I want to participate in this tour again after somehow overcoming seasickness.
I was also happy to receive the group photo via email right after the tour! 😊

朝5:50のピックアップでした。
噂通りのジュリさん！笑
とてもかわいくて元気いっぱいで彼女のおかげで楽しいツアーでした！
寝不足、時差ボケ、船に弱い私は嫌な予感がしていたものの酔い止めで乗り切ろうと思っていました。
船はそこまで揺れなかったですが、海に入ってしばらくしたら波酔いしてしまいました。
でもイルカがたくさん見えて、赤ちゃんイルカも見えて、写真を撮るのに夢中で気持ち悪くなっていたことも忘れました。
ウミガメのポイントへ移動するため船に戻ると、酔っていたことを思い出しました。笑
ウミガメもすっごく近くで泳いでくれて、たくさんいて、感動しました。
帰りの船は完全ダウンでずっと寝てしまいましたが、とてもいいツアーだったと思います！
本当にクルーの方がみんないい人。
最高でした。

寒いのでウエットスーツは絶対に借りたほうがいいです。（私たちのクラスは全員借りてました）
あとバスタオルも持参したほうがいいと思います。（ウエットスーツ脱いだあと寒いので）
約3時間海の上で揺られることになるので、酔い止めは必須。どうにか船酔いを克服してまた参加したいツアーです。笑
あとツアー後にすぐ集合写真をメールで頂けたのも嬉しかったです(^^)
