グラスボトムボートクルーズ ＜カイルアコナ発・英語ガイド＞

It was subtle... 微妙でした…

Reviewed by: ゴマちゃん

The tour operator only communicated in English, which made it difficult for me during the confirmation call. On the day of the tour, we departed from the pier in Kona, which was convenient since it was close to where I was staying. The glass-bottom boat was quite stable and comfortable, but there wasn't much variation in the fish or underwater scenery, so I honestly got a bit bored along the way. The staff were friendly and engaged in conversation, which was nice.

催行先が英語のみの対応なので、確認電話で苦労しました。当日はコナの桟橋からの出発でしたので、滞在先からすぐの場所でラクでした。グラスボートはあまり揺れがなく快適でしたが、あまり魚や海中の景色に変化が乏しかったので、正直途中で飽きてしまいました。スタッフの人はフレンドリーにいろいろ話しかけてくれて良かったです。

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＞

It was fun! 楽しかったです！

Reviewed by: YASU

I participated in a tour with Mr. Nawata on July 23. For three years, I have wanted to join a dolphin tour every time I go to Hawaii, and I finally got the chance to participate.

At first, there were many other tour boats out at sea, and I thought the dolphins might avoid our boat, making it hard to see them. However, we entered the water for practice. After that, Mr. Nawata and the captain diligently searched for the best spots where the dolphins were, repeatedly going in and out of the water and moving the boat. In the second half, we were able to swim right next to a pod of dolphins! It was so moving!

I was impressed not only by the dolphins but also by Mr. Nawata and the captain's efforts to ensure that every participant got to see the dolphins up close. I realized I was more exhausted than I expected, which made me feel my age and the decline in my stamina. However, the potato chips we had after returning to the harbor were incredibly delicious (laughs).

It was a tour that left me deeply moved by the dolphins, the staff, and the Hawaiian sea. I would love to participate again next year if I can.

7/23に繩田さん同行のツアーに参加しました。
ハワイに行く度にイルカツアーに参加したいと思って早3年、やっと参加することができました。
前半は他のツアーの船が多く海に出ておりこれではイルカがツアーの船を避けてしまいなかなか見れないかもと思いましたが、とりあえず練習の為1回目の海に入りました。その後繩田さんとキャプテンが一生懸命イルカがいるベストポイントを探し回って下さり、何回か海へ入ってはあがって船で移動を繰り返し後半はイルカの群れが泳いでるそばで一緒に泳げました！感動です！
イルカはもちろんですが、参加者一人一人に気を使いなんとか参加者全員にイルカを間近で見せてあげたいという繩田さんとキャプテンの気持ちにも感動しました。
思ったより体力を消耗しあらためて体力の衰えと歳を感じてしまいましたが、その分港に戻った後頂いたポテチが最高においしかった（笑）
イルカとスタッフとハワイの海に感動した大満足のツアーでした。また来年できたら参加したいと思います。

マウナケア山頂夕陽と星空観測ツアー ガイド撮影の一眼カメラ写真を無料ご提供！＜夕食付き／英語ガイド＞by マサシネイチャースクール

A treasure for a lifetime! 一生の宝物！

Reviewed by: マッチョになりたいプー

I chose this tour based on the experiences and reviews I read beforehand, and it was definitely the right choice! The saying "Seeing is believing" really holds true; participating in the tour allowed me to experience the atmosphere that can't be conveyed through reviews. The cool temperatures and thin air near the summit, which are hard to imagine in the coastal town of Kailua, became real for me only after climbing to 4,000 meters! The sky above the sea of clouds was clearer and bluer than I had imagined, and I could feel the sunlight hitting my skin directly, making it warm. Of course, one of the main events, the sunset viewing, was as beautiful as rumored. The sky afterward looked like a large canvas, with stunning gradients of red, orange, yellow, purple, blue, and white that captivated everyone watching. The other main event, stargazing, felt like watching a planetarium, thanks to our guide's fun and easy-to-understand explanations of constellations and stars. Additionally, we were able to observe Saturn and the moon through a telescope, and the guidance on astrophotography was greatly appreciated. Along the way, we also had the chance to observe rare alpine plants that we wouldn't normally see, and the explanations about the climate and terrain made the tour even more enriching. Overall, there were many moments to fully engage our senses, and my family and I were extremely satisfied. Next time, I definitely want to join the sunrise tour!

事前に読んだ体験談や口コミ情報を参考にこのツアーを選択しましたが、大正解！！「百聞は一見に如かず」とはよく言ったもので、実際に参加してみて、体験談や口コミ等では伝わってこないその場の空気感がたまらなくよかったです。海岸沿いのカイルアの街では想像しにくい「頂上付近の気温の低さや空気の薄さ」は、４０００ｍに登ってみて初めて実感に変わりました！また、雲海上の空は、想像よりも青く澄んでいましたし、日の光もストレートに攻めてくる感じで肌が熱くなるのを感じました。もちろん、メインイベントの一つである「夕日鑑賞」は、うわさ通りの美しさでした。その後の空は、大きなキャンバスのようで、赤、橙、黄、紫、青、白といった色彩が美しいグラデーションとなり、観る者達をうっとりとさせていました。もう一つのメインイベントである「星空観測」は、ガイドさんの楽しくてわかりやすい星座や星についての解説付きで、プラネタリウムを見ているようでした。さらに、天体望遠鏡で土星や月の観測をさせてくれたり、天体撮影の指導もしてくれたりと、大変ありがたかったです。そのほかにも、道すがら、普段見ることができない貴重な高山植物を観察させてくれたり、気候や地形についても解説してくれたりして、とにかくツアー中は、五感をフル活用する場面が多く家族共々大満足でした。今度は、せひサンライズのツアーに参加してみたいです。

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

I was thrilled to see as many as 100 dolphins up close! 100頭ものイルカを間近に見られ、大興奮！！

Reviewed by: jaja

I participated with my husband and our first-grade daughter, making it a family of three. We stayed at the Marriott Hotel in Waikoloa and arrived in just under 40 minutes. We were told to look for the blue roof of the Honokohau Marina, and as soon as we entered the marina, we found several shops with blue roofs lined up on the right side. The tour shop was easily identifiable with the sign that read "CAPTAIN ZODIAC" (it was the shop at the far right).

When we joined, there were six of us in total: our family of three and three American girls. With Captain Colin and his assistant Paul, we set off with a total of eight people! First, we sped across the surface of the sea. The waves were relatively calm, so I didn’t experience the seasickness I was worried about; instead, it felt refreshing with the wind in my face!

After about five minutes of racing across the water, the boat suddenly slowed down. Captain Colin was looking around, and just as I was wondering what was happening, he shouted, "Dolphins!" When I looked in the direction he was pointing, I saw several dorsal fins surfacing and diving. There were dolphins jumping like in an aquarium, and even a baby dolphin! My daughter was so excited, shouting, "Dolphin! Dolphin!"

At that point, the captain stopped the boat and began preparing the snorkeling gear. My daughter was quite nervous since it was her first time snorkeling and going out to deep water on a boat. Honestly, I thought, "Snorkeling in such deep water?! No way!" But it seemed her curiosity about the wild dolphins won out. She put on her new snorkeling set (which we brought, although they provide rentals) and borrowed a long foam noodle from the captain to use as a float.

Then, with her dad holding her hand, she peered into the water and saw a school of dolphins swimming right below us. Overjoyed, she squealed, "Yay! Dolphins!" and pointed excitedly. I was also amazed; I never expected to see so many dolphins up close.

We then changed locations and enjoyed a total of three dolphin swims.

After that, we had about 30 minutes of free snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay. My daughter was scared of the urchins and almost returned to the boat, but when Captain Colin threw some cookies into the water, the fish came close, and she was thrilled. Thanks to that, she was able to continue snorkeling.

I was worried that my daughter might end up scared and not able to do anything during the tour, but thanks to Captain Colin's thoughtfulness and the dolphins and fish, both my daughter and husband had a great time!

I definitely want to participate again the next time we come to the Big Island.

P.S.
1. For those who will be participating, it might be a good idea to hand the captain your camera and ask him to take pictures while snorkeling.
2. I recommend reapplying sunscreen during the trip. Even though I thought I had applied a lot, I ended up getting really sunburned (crying).

夫と小1の娘と一緒に３人で参加しました。
ワイコロアのマリオットホテルに滞在しており、40分弱で到着しました。
ホノコハウマリーナの青い屋根が目印とのことでしたが、マリーナの入り口入ってすぐの右手側に、青い屋根の何軒かのお店が長屋のように連なっていました。このツアーのお店は、看板に「CAPTAIN　ZODIAC」と書いてあるのですぐにわかりました。（向かって一番右端のお店でした）

私たちが参加した時は、私たち家族３人とAmericanGirls３人の計６人。そこに、キャプテンコリンと、助手の？ポールを合わせて８名で出発！
まずは、ビュンビュン飛ぶように海面を走ります。比較的波がなく海面が穏やかだったので、懸念していた船酔いにはならず、逆に風を受けて爽快でした！

５分ほど？海面を走り急にボートがゆっくりに。。キャプテンコリンが何やら周りを見回しています。？？と思っていると、「ドルフィン！」と叫ぶので指さす方を見ると、何頭もの背びれが浮かんだり沈んだり。そのうち、水族館のようにクルリとジャンプをするイルカがいたり、ベビーイルカがいたり、娘も「イルカさん！イルカさん！」と大興奮。

そこで、キャプテンがボートを停め、シュノーケルギアを準備し始めました。娘は、シュノーケルも初めて、ボートで深い海に行くのも初めてということでかなり緊張をしており、正直「こんなに深い場所でシュノーケル?!無理だよーー」と思いましたが、娘は野生のイルカのジャンプを見て好奇心が勝った模様。新しいMyシュノーケルセット（貸してもらえますが、私たちは持参しました）を装着し、キャプテンに浮き輪代わりにヌードルというウレタン製の細長い棒を借りて、プカプカ。
その後、パパに手を引いて貰い海を覗き込むと、真下にイルカたちの群れが泳いでいます。歓喜のあまり海の中で「キャーキャ－イルカーーー！！」と指をさして喜ぶ娘。
私も、こんなに沢山のイルカ達がこんなに間近に見られるとは思ってもいなかったので、大感激でした。
その後場所を変え、計３回ドルフィンスイムを楽しみました。

その後はケアラケクア湾で３０分ほど自由にシュノーケル。娘はガンガゼを怖がり、ボートに帰りかけましたが、キャプテンコリンがクッキーを持ってきて海に投げると、近くまで魚が寄ってきてくれて大喜び。おかげでシュノーケルを続行することができました。

娘が怖がって何もできずに終わったらどうしよう？？と思いながらツアーを申し込みましたが、キャプテンコリンの気遣いとイルカや魚たちのおかげで娘・パパともども楽しむことができました！

次回ハワイ島に来た時にも是非参加したいです。

追記：
①これから参加される方は、シュノーケル時にキャプテンにカメラを渡し、撮影をお願いすると良いかもしれません。
②日焼け止めを途中で塗りなおすことをオススメします。かなり塗りたくって参加したはずなのに、真っっ黒に焼けてしまいました（泣）

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

My first-grade daughter was thrilled! We swam with about 100 dolphins. 小1の娘も大喜び！100頭くらいのイルカと泳ぎました。

Reviewed by: Kazy

We zoomed along in Captain Colin's rubber boat and first headed to the dolphin swimming spot. The ride was thrilling, with sharp turns that felt like a roller coaster, and we had a blast screaming with excitement.

Once we arrived, after a brief explanation, we jumped into the sea! There were over 100 dolphins swimming around. My first-grade daughter, who initially said, "I'm scared!" was soon cheering as she snorkeled among the dolphins.

This was my daughter's first snorkeling experience during our trip to Hawaii. She had only practiced snorkeling on the beach the day before, so I was worried. However, the dynamic sight of dolphins swimming right beneath her made her forget her fear, and she exclaimed, "I want to swim again!" In the end, she enjoyed dolphin swimming three times.

While it wasn't like the experiences at some hotels where you "swim with dolphins while touching them," the experience of swimming with dolphins in their natural habitat was incredibly exciting.

After that, we thrillingly moved to Kealakekua Bay, where we enjoyed a leisurely snorkeling session while observing tropical fish. We saw butterflyfish, angelfish, and parrotfish, and both my wife and daughter had a great time snorkeling.

My daughter seemed a bit scared of the sea urchins, but Captain Colin noticed her unease and joined her for snorkeling. He kindly pointed out fish to her and taught her the names of the fish in Hawaii, which helped her feel more at ease. As her fear faded, she was able to enjoy herself freely.

Unfortunately, we didn't spot any whales, but we did see little fish jumping around, likely because the whales were nearby. They said the whales were somewhere beneath the surface within a two-knot range.

On the way back, he shared stories about Pele along the coastline.

He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, even for someone with my middle school-level English, and he was very kind to the children, which made me feel really reassured.

I truly felt that we had participated in a wonderful tour.

楽しむことができました。

残念ながらクジラを目撃することはできませんでしたが、クジラが近くにいるせいで

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

I do not recommend this for those who are not fond of thrill rides. 絶叫マシーンが苦手な方はおススメしません。。

Reviewed by: ハネムーンでハワイへ

When we participated, there were about 10 participants in total. We all boarded one rubber boat and set off. My husband and I were the only Japanese people there, so all the communication and small talk were in English.

When I heard "rafting," I had imagined something like river rafting using a raft, but it seems I was mistaken. In reality, we sat on the edge of the boat (without wearing life jackets) and raced across the ocean at high speed. As someone who is not good with thrill rides, I was screaming my head off... Seeing me, the other foreigners burst into laughter.

It looked refreshing and enjoyable to race through the blue sea. Everyone except me... Following the advice to "just look at the sky and the distant scenery," I did gaze around, and while it was indeed beautiful, my fear overwhelmed all other emotions, and I reached my limit within 30 minutes.

When I told the captain, "I can't do this anymore," he asked, "There are still about 4 hours left!? Can you hang in there?" I couldn't bear the thought of enduring this fear for another 4 hours, so I asked to be dropped off nearby and retired... My time on the boat was just 40 minutes. I wanted to try snorkeling too, but I thought it would be rude to push myself and make my fellow passengers uncomfortable, so I gave up. My husband, who was enjoying himself, also got off with me, so I felt really sorry for him. The captain was very kind and arranged a taxi for us to the shore. All the fellow passengers were warm and kind, even though we stopped off early.

Although I retired, I got to see many wild dolphins up close, and the view of the Big Island while racing across the ocean was truly wonderful. It also became a story for our honeymoon.

If you're looking for thrills and want to enjoy the ocean around the Big Island, I definitely recommend it. However, for those who are not good with thrill rides or are easily scared, it might be a bit too intense.

私達が参加した時は、参加者が総勢10名ほどでした。
みんなでひとつのゴムボートに乗って出発します。
日本人は私達夫婦のみでした。なので、伝達事項や雑談なども全て英語でした。

「ラフティング」と聞いて、私はてっきりラフトを使った川下りのようなものをイメージしていたのですが、どうやら認識が間違っていたようでした。。
実際は、ボートのフチに座り(ライフジャケットも着用しません)、超高速で海を駆けまわるというものでした。
絶叫マシーンなどの類が大の苦手な私、一人大絶叫…。
そんな私を見て、他の外国人の皆様、爆笑…。笑

風を切って青い海を走るのは、爽快で気持ち良さそうでした。
私以外は…。
「空や遠く景色を見ていれば大丈夫だよ」というアドバイスに従い眺めていましたが、確かに本当に美しかったのですが、恐怖が全ての感情を占めていた私は開始30分で限界に達していました。

「もう無理です」とキャプテンに申し出ると、「あと4時間近くあるよ！？頑張れる？」と聞かれたので、この恐怖をあと4時間続けるのは耐えられなかったので、近くの沖で降ろしてもらってリタイアしました…。
乗船時間、わずか40分…。
シュノーケルもやりたかったけど、無理して体調不良になって同船者の皆様に迷惑を掛けたら申し訳ないと思い、断念しました。
楽しんでいた夫も一緒に降りてもらったので、夫にも申し訳ない気持ちでいっぱいでした。
キャプテンの方には沖までタクシーを手配していただいたりと、本当に良くしていただきました。
同船者の皆様も、途中で沖に寄ったにも関わらず温かく見送って下さって、優しい方ばかりでした。

リタイアしたけれど、たくさんの野生イルカを間近で見られたし、海を走りながら臨むハワイ島の景色は本当に素晴らしかったです。
新婚旅行のネタのひとつにもなったし。笑

スリルと、ハワイ島の海を楽しみたい方は、ぜひおすすめです。
ただ、絶叫マシーンが苦手な方、怖がりな方には、ちょっとスリルがきついかもしれません。

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 moved by the manta dance unfolding right in front of me! 目の前で繰り広げられるマンタのダンスに感動しました！！

Reviewed by: ぽてち

I was able to see a giant manta up close! The manta was so close that it almost touched my wetsuit, and it spun around slowly several times. The sight of its wide-open mouth was so impressive that I felt like I might get sucked in. I also participated in a dolphin tour in addition to this one, and both were amazing experiences!!

On the tour, we arrived at the manta spot by boat before sunset, and we were able to see a beautiful sunset as well. After sunset, we entered the water and waited for the manta to come while holding onto a bar with LED lights. First, a lot of plankton gathered, and then, after a while, a large manta appeared to eat the plankton. I was moved by the intensity that was different from an aquarium!! I’ll include a video I shot with my GoPro during the tour (the manta appears in the middle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAtyJxeQiUw).

Although the sea was dark, the captain was always watching from the boat, and since we were holding onto the bar, I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind.

The night sea can get cold even with a wetsuit, so it might be a good idea to bring a warm hoodie or light down jacket to wear after swimming. If you're worried about seasickness, it might be good to have some motion sickness medication as well.

The fantastical sight of the large mantas is still etched in my memory. My husband was also very surprised that something he had only dreamed of and thought could only be experienced through diving could be experienced while snorkeling! I’m really glad I participated in this tour on the Big Island.

巨大なマンタを本当に間近でみることができました！マンタは私のウエットスーツに触れそうなほどの距離で、何度かゆっくりと回転しました。マンタの大きく開いた口に吸い込まれるのではないかと思うほど大迫力でした。このツアーの他にイルカツアーにも参加しましたが、どちらも最高の体験でした！！

ツアーでは、日が沈む前に船でマンタのスポットに到着し、美しい夕陽もみることができました。日没後に海に入り、LEDライトがついたバーに掴まってマンタが来るのを待ちました。まず最初にたくさんのプランクトンが集まってきて、その後しばらくするとプランクトンを食べに大きなマンタが現れました。水族館とは違った迫力に感動しました！！このツアー中、Goproで撮影した動画（中盤にマンタが登場します。https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAtyJxeQiUw）を参考に載せておきます。

暗い海ですが、船長さんが常に船から見ていてくれますし、バーにつかまっているので、安心して楽しむことができました。

夜の海はウエットスーツを着ても冷えてくるので、泳いだ後に羽織れるよう暖かいパーカーかライトダウンなどを持っていくといいかもしれません。船酔いが心配な方は酔い止めもあるといいかと思います。

大きなマンタ達の幻想的な光景が今も目に焼き付いています。主人もこれまで夢にみていたこと、ダイビングでしかできないと思っていたことが、シュノーケルで体験できたことにとても驚いていました！ハワイ島でこのツアーに参加して本当によかったです。

The guide, Ms. Ha, created a very bright atmosphere and made the experience enjoyable. While driving and guiding us about the Big Island, we were able to take photos with a high-performance DSLR camera! We got a great commemorative picture with the Milky Way in the background. The explanation of constellations by the other guide, Mr. Konno, was very easy to understand, and I was amazed at how clearly the shapes of the constellations could be seen with stars visible up to the sixth magnitude. The starry sky was very satisfying, but due to a demonstration, we couldn't reach the summit, and we couldn't see the sunset clearly because of the clouds, so I give it 4 stars! I would like to try again.

ガイドの葉さんはとっても明るい雰囲気で盛り上げてくれました。ハワイ島のことをガイドしながらのドライビングに、高性能一眼レフカメラでの撮影！ばっちり天の川バックに記念写真を撮っていただくことができました。もう一人のガイドさんであるコンノさんの星座の説明はとってもわかりやすくて、6等星くらいまで星がみえるとこんなにも星座形がくっきりわかるのかと、感動でした。星空は大満足ですが、デモの関係で山頂まで行けず、雲でサンセットがしっかりとみれなかったので、☆4つ！またリベンジしたいです。

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆シュノーケルリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／食事付き＞

Encountered a manta ray from the surface! 海面からマンタに遭遇！

Reviewed by: みぃこ

I participated in the Captain Zodiac rafting cruise, and as we started cruising on the rafting boat, we first encountered a large pod of dolphins! Despite it being summer, we were also able to see whales. The luckiest moment was when I saw a manta ray swimming right beneath the rafting boat, which is usually only seen while diving. This is rare, and I was truly lucky, but if you're fortunate, you might get to see a manta ray too.

The snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, where the main Captain Cook monument is located, allowed us to see beautiful coral on the lava cliffs and many different types of fish. The point was stunning with its high transparency and beautiful emerald green waters! After snorkeling, sandwiches, snacks, and juice were prepared for us, and we enjoyed lunch while looking out at Kealakekua Bay.

Above all, the highlight of this tour was the captain's exciting performance. As he explained the nature of the Big Island while navigating the sea, he was very cheerful, making us feel like we were part of a pirate crew. On the way back, we enjoyed the sight of deer standing on the cliffs, wild birds, and the rock known as the goddess Pele of the Big Island, keeping the fun going until the very end. It was an exhilarating tour that condensed the great nature of the Big Island, and I would love to participate again!

キャプテンゾディアックのラフティングクルーズに参加して、ラフティングボートに乗ってクルージングを開始すると、まずはイルカの大群に遭遇！また、夏の時期にも関わらずクジラを見ることもできました。そして一番ラッキーだったのは、通常ダイビングなどでしか見れないマンタが、ラフティングボートの真下を泳いでいく姿に遭遇したことです。これは稀だそうで、本当にラッキーだったようですが、運が良ければマンタに会えてしまうかもしれません。メインのキャプテン・クックの記念碑のあるケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケリングは、溶岩の岸壁の綺麗なサンゴやたくさんの種類の魚達に会えました。とても透明度が高いエメラルドグリーンが綺麗なポイントでした！シュノーケリングの後はサンドイッチとスナックとジュースが準備されていて、ケアラケクア湾を眺めながらのランチ。そして何よりこのツアーのポイントはキャプテンのエキサイティングな演出です。ビッグアイランドの自然を説明しながら海を進んでいくキャプテンは、とても陽気で海賊船の船員になったような気分で楽しめます。帰りの道のりも岸壁の上に立つ鹿や、野鳥、ビッグアイランドの女神ペレと言われている岩を眺めたりしながら最後の最後まで楽しませてくれました。ビッグアイランドの大自然を凝縮した大興奮のツアー、また参加したいです！

伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ（キングカメハメハホテル内）＜ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題／シェルレイ付＞

A show worth watching. 見応えのあるショー

Reviewed by: おみや

Not only did I see the gentle atmosphere of hula that I know, but I also experienced the more vigorous dancing for the first time. The shell leis are free, but the flowers are available for an additional charge. Before the show starts, there are several activities you can participate in. You can get stamps on your body, experience hula choreography and props, see a pig being roasted, and weave with leaves. The buffet food was surprisingly good, considering I didn't have high expectations. However, it was disappointing that we had to wait for our turn to be seated, which meant we ended up drinking a lot of alcohol at first.

私が知っている穏やかな雰囲気のフラだけではなく激しく踊るのを初めてみました。
貝のレイは無料ですが、お花は別途有料です。
ショーが始まる前に、いくつかの体験ができます。
体にスタンプをおしたり、フラの振り付けや小道具を使った体験、豚の蒸し焼きをみれたり、葉っぱを使って編んだり。
バイキングのご飯も期待してなかったわりには美味しかった。
ただ、席ごとに順番でとっていくため、なかなか順番がこないでお酒ばっかり最初に飲むことになってしまったのが残念でした。

マウナケア山頂夕陽と星空観測ツアー ガイド撮影の一眼カメラ写真を無料ご提供！＜夕食付き／英語ガイド＞by マサシネイチャースクール

That's unfortunate... 残念・・・

Reviewed by: yopiko

Since it was close to a full moon, I felt there weren't many stars, and I thought the starry sky at my parents' house was more beautiful. The sunset was very pretty. The guide's boring jokes were a bit much, and I felt tired trying to keep up with them.

満月に近い日ということで、イマイチ星が少なく感じ、実家の星空が綺麗だぞと思っていました。サンセットはとてもきれいでした。ガイドさんのつまらないギャグも今一歩で付き合うのに疲れる感じでした

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

Historical Kealakakua Bay Sunset Dinner Cruise

Reviewed by: Sherri McClane

Couldn't as for a better way to end the day. The setting perfect, the crew helpful and friendly, the narrative informative, the music the perfect backdrop for the evening. The food plentiful and wonderful. We had a few pleasant surprises along the way. We were entertained by a school of sinner dolphins going and coming, as well as seeing a flying fish or two. A good time was had by all, given the chance I'd do it all again.

More dolphins then I had ever imagined. The guides knew what they were doing and were polite enough to ask whether they could fish while heading out to the spot.

伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　ボイジャーズ・オブ・ザ・パシフィック（ロイヤルコナリゾート内）＜月・火・水・金催行／ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題／シェルレイ付＞

The show itself and the overall atmosphere were great. ショー自体も、全体の雰囲気もよかったです。

Reviewed by: りびどー

On the day we arrived on the Big Island, I was anxious about whether we would make it in time since we had a reservation, but I was relieved to see that there was still a line even at the start time. The show, which began with the ocean and sunset as a backdrop, was filled with a natural atmosphere where everyone, including the guests, seemed to be enjoying themselves. The hula dance was, of course, impressive, and the fire show was breathtaking. I was also a bit concerned about the restrooms, but the toilets on the first floor of the hotel were comfortable to use. I thought it could be a bit cheaper, possibly due to the weak yen, but overall, I was satisfied.

ハワイ島についた日に予約していたので、間に合うかひやひやでしたが、スタート時間でもまだ行列がつづいていて、逆に安心しました。海と夕日をバックにはじまるショーは、お客さんもふくめて自然体に楽しもうという雰囲気に満ちていてよかったです。フラダンスはもちろん、ファイヤーショーも圧巻でした。そして、ちょっと気にしていたお手洗いも、ホテルの１階のトイレが使えて快適でした。円安のせいもあるのか、もうちょっと安ければとも思いましたが満足でした。
