Glass Bottom boat tour

Reviewed by: Angel

The crew and view was amazing! You can see A-Bay at its best. Blue waters, sea turtles and beautiful fish. Calm waters and blue skies with shade. Kids will absolutely live this short and safe tour. Bring your swimsuits for afterwards and enjoy the sandy coastline. Plenty of trees, restrooms. The Marriott has a walking trail with fish ponds too! Mahalo, Angel

マンタ大学夜学部 野生のマンタ&ナイトシュノーケリングツアー <送迎可/日本語スタッフ乗船日あり>

The manta was very close. マンタ近かったです

Reviewed by: ラベンダー

I was worried about whether I would be able to see manta rays based on the reviews, but I did! They came surprisingly close, almost within reach of my hands and feet, so I had to be careful not to touch them at all. Since ocean accidents are scary, I chose a tour that provides explanations in Japanese. Fortunately, there wasn't much price difference for the manta tour, so I went with this one.

I had read in reviews that the boat ride from the port to the manta point was long, and that some people experienced seasickness or found the rocking of the boat difficult. However, since I have never had severe seasickness in the past, I thought that for those who enjoy being out in the sea breeze and taking in the ocean views (especially during sunset, which I think is a precious experience), a longer boat ride could actually be a lucky thing.

The Japanese tour guide was wonderfully attentive and a lovely person, and I really liked them as a person. The cocoa we had on the boat was also delicious.

What I wish I had brought were two bath towels—one for drying off and one to cover my legs—because while the water was a comfortable temperature in a wetsuit during the hot July weather, it was cold once we got back on the boat. I also recommend bringing a warm jacket or something to wrap around your neck and shoulders, as well as warmer clothes and underwear to change into after swimming, along with socks. It would be best to have a thermos to keep hot tea or something to drink on the way back.

Manta rays are adorable, and I recommend this tour for anyone who loves soothing sea creatures like dolphins. I would like to join this tour again next time.

口コミからマンタ見れるのか不安でしたが見れました。
しかも予想外に手や足で触れてしまいそうなくらい近くまで来てくれるので、こちらが一切触れないように体を気をつけないといけません。
海の事故はこわいので、日本語で説明してくださるツアーを選びました。幸いにマンタツアーで価格差はあまりなかったので、こちらにしました。
口コミでは港からマンタのいるポイントまでの乗船時間が長い、船酔いしたり揺れるのが辛い、というのも事前に見ていましたが、過去に酷い船酔いをしたことがなく、海風に当たりながら海の景色(ちょうどサンセットが観れる時間だと貴重な体験だと思います。あとイルカが私達の時は船と一緒に泳いでくれました。)を観るのが好きな人にはストレス発散効果もあり、船に乗る時間が長い方がラッキーではないか、と思いました。
添乗員の日本人の方は、気配りも素晴らしく素敵な人で、私は人として好きな方でしたし、船上でいただいたココアも美味しかったです。
持っていけばよかったと思うのは、7月の暑い時期ですが、海の中はウェットスーツを着てちょうどいい温度ですが、船に上がると寒かったので、バスタオルは拭く用と足に掛ける用の2枚、首や肩には暖かい上着や首に巻けるもの、ホテルに帰るまでに水着から着替える用の普段の服より温かい服装と下着、靴下です。
帰りにホットのお茶などを飲めるように保温水筒に入れておくとベストです。
マンタは可愛らしくて、イルカなどの海の癒し系の生き物が好きな方におすすめです。
次回参加する場合もこちらのツアーにしたいです。

It looks like you're scuba diving! スキューバダイビングしてるみたい!

Reviewed by: ナポリーナ

It felt like we were casually scuba diving down to the seabed. I was very satisfied to see various sizes of fish and sea turtles! The water can get murky or hard to see depending on the currents and weather, but I think only those with a broad mindset who can accept that should go.

Manta Dance Party マンタ大乱舞

Reviewed by: 子だくさん親父

It was reassuring to have the Japanese guide Tamae with us. The day before, there were only two manta rays, but on our day, we counted six at the same time. You don't usually see this many even while diving. Tamae mentioned that it's rare to see so many manta rays. Our 10-year-old child was also able to participate comfortably. After disembarking, Tamae shared videos of our tour above and below the water via AirDrop. It was fantastic.

日本人ガイドtamaeさんが一緒で安心でした。前の日2枚だったマンタが我々の日は自分達で数えられたところでは同時に6枚。ダイビングでもこんなには見れません。前の日は2枚だったマンタ。tamaeさんもこんなにマンタ多い事は先ず無いとお話しされてました。10才の子供も安心して参加させて頂きました。下船後、tamaeさんが我々が参加していたツアーでの水上と水中の動画をエアードロップで供与してくれました。最高でした。

A manta ray came right in front of me! ♪ 目の前までマンタが来ました♪

Reviewed by: Shawn

I was anxious about whether I would actually see manta rays, but I was able to see many of them. They came close enough that it felt like I could touch them, and the experience was incredible. According to the instructor, there is about a 90% chance of encountering manta rays. There was also a Japanese-speaking instructor, which made me feel more at ease during the tour. I participated with my family, and it became a wonderful memory.

実際にマンタが見れるのか不安がありながら、参加しましたが、多くのマンタを見ることが出来ました。触れそうな距離まで近くに来ることもあり、迫力が凄かったです。

Dolphin Encounter ドルフィンエンカウンター

Reviewed by: MIKA

I participated in the main event of this trip, the Dolphin Touch. The price was so high that I hesitated, but I decided to go for it thinking it would help support the dolphins' lives.

After the driver dropped everyone off at the park, he just disappeared, leaving us all a bit confused about what to do. We nervously approached the reception desk, and I was relieved that the staff understood when I presented the voucher. The voucher is essential. Neither the driver nor the reception staff spoke Japanese. I received a paper with the return meeting time written in Japanese and went inside. There were staff members who spoke Japanese, so they explained everything to us, which was a huge help.

We were in the water for about 20 to 30 minutes, and with a group of around 10 people, there was one trainer and one dolphin, so we took turns touching and taking photos. Everything was in English, but they communicated how to touch the dolphins using gestures, so it worked out fine.

After that, we had lunch at the park's restaurant (optional) and then went to the area where we could interact with birds. The kids seemed to really enjoy this, going in multiple times to feed them. They were pecked at without mercy, but despite the pain, they looked like they were having a great time.

We were also given lettuce-like leaves by the staff to feed the fish, and they were eating it surprisingly eagerly. It felt like a small aquarium, but since it wasn't crowded, we could take our time to look around. The scenic coastal road on the way there and back made for a fun day.

今回の旅行のメインイベント、イルカタッチに参加しました。
料金が高すぎて迷うほどでしたが、イルカ達の生活の足しになっていると思って思い切って申し込みました。
ドライバーさん、パークについて皆を降ろしたらそのままいなくなってしまって、どうしたら良いのか皆ザワザワ。恐る恐る受付窓口に行ってバウチャーを出したら受付の方がわかってくれて良かったです。バウチャー必須です。ドライバーもですが、受付でも日本語は通じません。帰りの集合時間が日本語で書かれた紙をもらい、中へ。中には日本語を話すスタッフがいたのであれこれ説明してもらえてすごく助かりました。
水に入っているのは20~30分ですが、10名ほどのグループにトレーナーとイルカが1匹なので順番にタッチしたり写真撮ったりします。全て英語でしたが身振り手振りで触り方などを教えてもらえるのでなんとかなります。
そのあと、園内のレストランで昼食を食べて(任意)、鳥に触れ合えるコーナーへ。
子供達はこれがすごく楽しかったようで、何度も入っては餌をあげていました。容赦なく指をつつかれたりしますが、痛がりながらも楽しそうでした。
スタッフからレタスみたいな葉っぱをもらって魚にあげることもできます。
びっくりするくらいむしゃむしゃ食べてました。笑
規模が小さい水族館な感じですが、混んでいなかったのでゆっくり見ることが出来ました。行き帰りも景色の良い海沿いの道なので楽しい一日になりました。

One Ocean Diving Hawaii Shark Dive on Oahu & Snorkel Tour Experience

Very cool experience!!

Reviewed by: Chris J

Wasn't quite sure what to expect when you hear you're swimming with sharks without a cage. It was a very neat experience. The sharks pretty much stay below you. The crew does a good job of explaining their behavior and what to do around them. The crew was very knowledgable and made the tour exciting. I think the only thing I would change is maybe running the line that everyone hangs onto away from the boat. I felt like at times the waves would bring me back into the boat. It would be nice to just float on the surface away from the boat. But it was still very cool, the crew lets you go out and dive down and "hang" with the sharks for a little bit. Definitely a bucket list item. Would suggest brining your own snorkel gear if you find it hard to fit rentals. Bring a GoPro too! But if you forget, they're taking video and pics of everyone the whole time! Other than that, book it and go have fun!! Well worth the time and money!!

Manta University Night Division Manta & Night Snorkeling Tour マンタ大学夜学部マンタ&ナイトシュノーケリングツアー

Reviewed by: 家族旅行

There were not enough life jackets provided for the number of people on the tour, so I had no choice but to search for an emergency life jacket (which was covered in dust) under the chair and wear it. Other families also had their children wear the emergency jackets while the adults jumped into the sea without any life jackets. The waves were quite high, and I felt a real danger to my life.

I was able to see the manta rays properly, but due to the confusion with the life jackets, my viewing time ended up being about 15 minutes shorter than those who entered the water earlier, which was really disappointing.

ライフジャケットがツアーの人数分用意されておらず、仕方なく緊急用のライフジャケット(ホコリだらけ)を椅子の下から探して着用しました。他の家族も子供のみ緊急用を付け、大人はライフジャケットなしで海に飛び込む始末。波も相当高く、命の危険を感じました。
マンタ自体はちゃんと見れましたが、ライフジャケットのゴタゴタで、先に入水した参加者より鑑賞時間が15分程短くなってしまったのが、本当に残念です。

Dear Family Traveler,

Thank you for participating in the Manta University program. We also appreciate your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

We apologize for any discomfort caused by the slightly strong winds and waves during your experience. Regarding the use of life jackets, it is mandatory for children under 12 years old on the Big Island, while it is optional for adults. Therefore, we ask about life jacket preferences during the tour check-in and provide them before departure.

On the day of your tour, we confirmed that more customers than usual requested to wear life jackets after departing the harbor, based on the sea conditions.

We take your comments seriously and will use them to improve our crisis management and services, ensuring that our customers can participate in tours with confidence and enjoyment.

Thank you once again for your valuable feedback.

家族旅行様
この度はマンタ大学へ参加いただきありがとうございました。また、お忙しい中貴重なコメントを頂き重ねて感謝申し上げます。
風や波がやや強めの海のコンディションの中、不快な思いをさせてしまい申し訳ありませんでした。
ライフジャケットの着用につきまして、ハワイ島では12歳以下のお子様に対しては着用の義務がございますが大人は任意となっております。そのためツアーのチェックイン時に着用の希望を伺い出航前にお渡ししております。
当日はハーバーを出航後に海のコンディションを見てライフジャケットを着用したいと要望されたお客様が通常よりも多くいらっしゃったと確認しました。
お寄せ頂いたコメントを真摯に受け止め、今後お客様に安心して楽しくツアーに参加していただけるようさらなる危機管理とサービスの改善に役立てたいと存じます。
この度は貴重なご意見をありがとうございました。

Retry. リトライで

Reviewed by: やっさん

Initially, the manta rays did not appear on the scheduled day, but I was able to participate the next day and see them (it's quite rare not to see manta rays). I have been longing to join this tour for about six years, and since I had planned it for the early part of my stay, I was glad to have the opportunity to retry. It did take a fair amount of energy, though...

If anyone is going to the Big Island, I highly recommend this tour! It was disappointing not to see the manta rays on the first attempt, but I truly appreciate the staff for their generous support, including arranging the retry!

当初予定した参加日にはマンタが現れず、次の日に参加して見ることができました(マンタに会えないのはかなり珍しいとのことです)。

Maui snorkeling experience マウイ シュノーケル体験

Reviewed by: ユカ♡

The snorkeling itself had only a few types of fish, so it felt a bit lacking, but the service on the boat (breakfast, lunch, staff's hospitality, etc.) was very good. After snorkeling, there were many types of alcohol available, which really added to the vacation vibe. We had fun sliding down from the boat, and even the adults joined in! The Japanese staff provided careful consideration, which made me feel comfortable participating, and above all, seeing Japanese people working hard overseas motivated me to do my best after returning home. I wasn't quite sure how the public parking system worked, and I think I ended up paying $6 twice? It would have been better if there was more explanation about that, but I guess my lack of English skills was the reason. Overall, it was a satisfying tour. Thank you for the attentive service!

シュノーケル自体は魚が数種類で、こんなものかなという感じでしたが、ボートの上のサービス(朝ごはん ランチ スタッフの応対など)はとてもよかったです。
シュノーケル後に寄港する際、アルコールもたくさん種類があってバカンス気分を味わえました。
ボートからの滑り台、大人もまじってはしゃげました!
日本人スタッフの方、細かな配慮に安心して参加できましたし、何より海外でがんばってらっしゃる日本人に、帰国後もがんばろうと思えました。
パブリックパーキングのシステムがよく分からず、6$を2回払ったのかな?その辺の説明がもっとわかるとよかったですが、自分の英語力のなさが原因ですね。

It takes a little time to enter. 入場するのに、少し時間がかかります

Reviewed by: Kちゃん

We participated as a family since there were activities available for children aged 5 and under, and we had never touched a dolphin before.

We arrived at the park around 10 AM. There was a line for entry, so we waited in line. After waiting for 10 or 20 minutes, the line wasn't moving much. Since the activity was scheduled for 11 AM, we felt a bit anxious and frustrated. We finally got in and made our way to the dolphin pool. We weren't sure where to go for preparation, but we rushed in at the last moment, and thankfully, we made it. It would have been better if the entry process was smoother. Also, it would be helpful if the preparation area had clearer maps or guides.

The interaction with the dolphin (Nalu) was great. The explanations were in English, so those who are not familiar with English might not understand, but you can still enjoy the atmosphere. The fun time went by in a flash, and since the pickup for our return was at 2 PM, we didn't have enough time to fully enjoy the park. That's a bit disappointing. It seems that visiting this park twice might be enough to fully enjoy it.

5歳の子どもが参加できるアクティビティという制限の中、イルカに触れたことなかったので、親子で参加。

パークには10時ころに到着。入場は列ができていたので、並んで待っていました。10分、20分待てど列はなかなか前へ進みません。11時からのアクティビティなのでちょっと不安、イライラが。何とか入って、イルカのプールへ。どこに準備でどこに行くのかわからず最後に駆け込むように、でも間に合ってよかったです。もう少し入場がスムーズならいいのですが。あと準備の場所も案内図などが分かりやすければよいのですが。

イルカ(Nalu君)との触れあいは良かったです。説明は英語なので、英語不慣れな方は理解できないと思いますが、雰囲気で楽しめますよ。
楽しい時間はあっという間、14時には帰りのピックアップがくるので、パーク内で十分に堪能できなかった。ちょっと残念。
このパークは2回ほど行くと十分楽しめるのかも。

Lahaina Semi-Submersible Glass Bottom Boat Adventure - Maui Reefdancer [CLOSED]

Fun Trip!

Reviewed by: SDMama23

We thought our guide and divers were awesome and the kids had a blast. I think we expected to see a bit more ocean life. We saw turtles, mostly just one kind of fish (Trigger fish) and some urchin. It was still fun, but I wouldn't spend the money to do it again now that I know there's not much to see. Thank you!!

マンタ大学夜学部 野生のマンタ&ナイトシュノーケリングツアー <送迎可/日本語スタッフ乗船日あり>

I was able to meet a manta ray! マンタに会えました!

Reviewed by: はぐまま

The shuttle driver spoke only English, but he was very kind. When we arrived at the harbor, there was a Japanese staff member (a woman), which made me feel at ease as I prepared. She also accompanied us on the activities, so I was a bit anxious about the night snorkeling, but I enjoyed it.

Most importantly, I was moved to see a manta ray up close, which I hadn't encountered the day before. It seems that this tour is the only one where you can see manta rays during night snorkeling, so I highly recommend it for anyone going to the Big Island. They provide wetsuits, so it's not cold at all.

送迎ドライバーは英語オンリーでしたがとても優しい方でした。
ハーバーに着くと日本人スタッフ(女性)がいて安心して準備ができました。その方がアクティビティーにも同行していたので、ナイトシュノーケリング少し不安でしたが楽しめました。
何より前日は現れなかったマンタに会えて、すごく近くで観られたことが感動でした。
ナイトシュノーケリングでマンタに会えるのはこちらのツアーだけらしいのでハワイ島行かれる方は是非参加することをおすすめします。
ウエットスーツ貸してもらえるのでぜんぜん寒くないです。
