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

It was a breathtaking view that felt otherworldly. この世のものとは思えない絶景でした

Reviewed by: tetsu

I really wanted my whole family to participate, but due to the age restrictions for children, I went as a representative (laughs). The sunset and the gradient of the sky were amazing, resembling a scene from the moon. Additionally, the starry sky, where even satellites were clearly visible, was unique to Mauna Kea. The guide's talk was also brilliant. Personally, I was surprised that I could capture such a beautiful starry sky with my mirrorless camera. I even learned how to use the camera from the guide, and it was a very satisfying tour. I want to go again!

本当は家族全員で参加したかったのですが、子ども年齢制限もあり、私が代表して（笑）参加しました。
まるで月面のような光景に沈む夕日と空のグラデーションが素晴らしかった。また、人工衛星までくっきりと見える星空はマウナケアならではでした。ガイドのトークも冴えわたっていました。個人的には手持ちのミラーレス一眼であんなにきれいな星空を撮影できるなんてびっくりしました。ガイドさんにカメラの使い方まで教わり、大変満足のいくツアーでした。また行きたいです！

Deluxe Captain Cook Snorkeling Tour at Kealakekua Bay - Fair Wind Cruises

Great Snorkel Cruise

Reviewed by: HawaiiLove

Family trip with 3 teenage boys. Everyone loved it. Water slides were a fun addition. Good breakfast and lunch including vegetarian options. Snuba on trip was not as fulfilling. Overpriced ($69 additional to cruise charge) and too short(30mins). For the price, they should have included that free with the cruise as others do. Otherwise, great trip. Thanks~

Everyone in the group smiled! 参加者みんなが笑顔になりました♪

Reviewed by: Tomomi

I participated on August 25th. As Mr. Nawata cheerfully said, "Dolphins are natural creatures, so there's no 100% guarantee, but we will do our best!" we entered the water at just the right moment to see many dolphins, and when they disappeared, we boarded the boat again. He also created many opportunities by saying, "This way!" while observing their movements.

The staff members were wonderful. I was very impressed by their proactive support for elderly participants and children. They made sure each participant felt satisfied by bringing us close to the dolphins, saying things like, "You were really close just now, [Name]!" The teamwork was outstanding, with Maddy on the boat loudly informing us, "They are coming toward us from 20 meters away." It was heartwarming to see how much they love dolphins and enjoy their work, conveying their desire for participants to experience this joy.

Meeting so many dolphins up close felt like a dream.

It was so much fun that I participated again during my stay. Mr. Nawata mentioned, "The last time was so great, so don't expect too much this time," but the second time exceeded the first! Right beneath us, a pod of 5 to 6 dolphins danced multiple times. At one point, our swim guide Daisuke joined in on the dolphins' play. It was a very happy sight to witness.

The boat swaying felt like an attraction and was enjoyable, but for those who are not confident with even a little motion, I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance. It's a wonderful opportunity, after all.

Thank you to everyone at Aloha Konas, all the fellow passengers, the dolphins, and the great nature of the Big Island for such a fun time. With heartfelt gratitude.

　8月25日に参加しました。「イルカは、自然の生き物だから100％はないけど、ウチは粘るよ～」と縄田さんが明るく笑顔でおっしゃっていた通り、イルカの動きをよんで「さあ、今！」と海に入り、いっぱいイルカに会って、いなくなると、再び乗船。また、動きを見て「こっちだよ」とたくさんの機会をつくってくださいます。

　素晴らしいのが、スタッフの方々。高齢の方や、お子さんを積極的にフォローする姿勢に、大変好感をもちました。また、参加者一人ひとりに、「〇〇さん、さっきすごく近くだったね」「〇〇さんも」とみんなが満足できるように、イルカの近くまで連れていってくださいます。チームワークも抜群で、船上からマディさんが「20m先からこっちに向かってきているよ」など大きな声で教えてくれます。そして、イルカが大好きで楽しんで仕事をしていて、参加者に「この楽しさをぜひ味わってもらいたい」という気持ちが伝わってくることを嬉しく思いました。
たくさんのイルカと、ものすごく近くで会って、夢のような時間でした。

　あまりに楽しかったので、滞在中に再び参加しました。縄田さんは、「前回が良すぎだったから、期待しすぎないでねー」とおっしゃっていましたが…、
2回目は1回目以上！
私たちが浮いている真下で、イルカが5～6頭の群れになって何回も踊って（？）いました。
途中からは、スイムガイドのダイスケくんもイルカたちの遊びに加わっていました。
見ていて、とても幸せな光景でした。

　船が揺れてアトラクションみたいで楽しいのですが、
少しでも揺れに自信がない方は、酔い止めの薬を事前に飲まれることを
おすすめします。せっかくの楽しい機会なので…。

　アロハコナーズの皆様、一緒に乗船した皆様、イルカちゃんたち、ハワイ島の大自然、
とても楽しい時間をありがとうございました。
心からの感謝をこめて。

野生のイルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜朝食・昼食付き＞

I can recommend it for families with children. 子供連れにもオススメできます

Reviewed by: ハワイ島最高！

We participated as a family with our three children, aged 11, 8, and 5.

The snorkeling location was quite deep (over 10-15 meters?), and since our youngest child couldn't swim, we had some concerns. However, they provided children's life jackets, and with the floaties we brought, the kids were able to float and enjoy themselves. The older two were initially scared, but as they got used to it, they enjoyed snorkeling in the clear sea. The staff were also very friendly, and the freshly made hamburgers were delicious. We even got to see dolphins along the way, making it a very satisfying tour overall.

Since the boat ride to the snorkeling location is quite long, it's advisable for those prone to seasickness to take motion sickness medication beforehand (the older child got seasick). If you have small children, bringing floaties would enhance their enjoyment as well.

Despite a few challenges, it was a very enjoyable tour, and I can definitely recommend it for families.

11歳、8歳、5歳の3人の子供と家族で参加しました。

シュノーケリングする場所は結構深く（10～15ｍ以上？）、
下の子供は泳ぐことができない為、多少不安もありましたが、
子供用のライフジャケットも完備されており、持参した浮き輪を使って
ぷかぷかと浮かんで楽しんでいました。
上の２人も最初は怖がっていましたが、慣れてくるとシュノーケルを使って
透き通った海を楽しんでいました。
スタッフの方も非常に親切で、焼き立てのハンバーガも美味しかったです。
途中イルカにも会うことができ、ツアーとしては非常に満足できるものでした。

シュノーケリングする場所まで結構乗船する為、船酔いする方は
酔い止めを必ず飲んでいった方が良いです。（上の子は酔いました）
また小さな子供がいるようであれば、浮き輪も持参した方が楽しめると
思います。

いろいろとありましたが、ツアーとしては非常に楽しめるもので
家族連れの方にも十分おすすめできます。

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＞

Amazing! 凄い！

Reviewed by: ケンシロウ

I participated with my children (ages 13 and 10). Since it was a night activity, I was worried about bringing them along, but there were no issues at all. The size of the manta rays and their impressive presence right in front of us were incredible. We were very excited. The kids were also very satisfied. We would like to participate again next time. However, there is no detailed description of the meeting place (landmarks), so those gathering on-site need to be cautious. A truck towing a boat comes near the public restroom, but the tour name is not displayed, so you have to ask for information yourself. Additionally, while the tour description mentions drinks and snacks, none were provided. This needs to be corrected.

子供（13歳、10歳）を連れて参加しました。夜のアクティビティーだったので、子連れでは心配だったのですが、全く問題ありませんでした。
マンタの大きさと目の前に迫ってくる迫力は凄いの一言。とても興奮しました。
子供達も大満足。また、次回参加したいです。
ただ、集合場所が詳細（目印）の記載がないので、現地集合の人は注意が必要です。
公衆トイレ近くにボートを牽引したトラックが来ますが、ツアーの名称は表記されないので自分から声かけて聞くしか方法がありません。
また、ツアー内容に飲料、軽食の記載がありますが、提供はありませんでした。修正が必要ですね。

野生のマンタ　シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞

Fantastic! The dance of the manta rays. 幻想的！マンタの舞

Reviewed by: きっこ

I participated with my husband and our 9-year-old daughter. Since my husband speaks English, we decided on this affordable tour, but I think it’s fine even if you can’t speak difficult English, especially if you have snorkeling experience. However, we had to move to the port by ourselves from the tour reception desk.

My daughter, who gets motion sickness easily, took some anti-nausea medication beforehand, and thankfully, she didn’t get seasick. However, it was quite cold floating in the night sea (we participated in August). Even though she wore a long rash guard top and bottom, after floating for nearly 20 minutes and only seeing one manta ray in the distance, she started saying, “I’m cold; I want to get out!” While I was trying to calm her down, a group of five giant manta rays appeared! We forgot about the cold and were just captivated. It felt like we were floating in space. They swirled around us within reach. The staff were friendly and fun, and we had a wonderful experience unique to the Big Island of Hawaii.

夫と９歳の娘と３人で参加しました。夫が英語を話せるので、安いこちらのツアーに決めましたが、シュノーケル経験者の方なら特に難しい英語が話せなくても大丈夫だと思います。ただしツアー受付デスクからは自分達で港まで移動しなければいけません。
酔いやすい娘は、事前に酔い止めを飲ませまた効果か、船酔いはしませんでしたが、とにかく夜の海にずっと浮いてるために冷えます。（８月の参加で）上下ロングラッシュガードを着込んだにもかかわらず、20分近く浮いて、まだ１匹遠くにマンタを見ただけで、「寒くてもうあがりたい〜」と言い出す始末・・・。なんとかなだめていると、そこへ５匹の巨大マンタの群れが〜！！寒さも忘れてただただ見入ってしまいました。まるで宇宙に浮いてる感じです。クルクルと手の届くような位置で回ってくれました。スタッフも気さくで楽しくて、ハワイ島ならではのとてもいい経験が出来ました。

On the boat, they ask for your fin size and provide you with the appropriate ones. They also have snorkeling gear available. They lend you a type of life jacket that wraps around your waist (suitable for both children and adults), so you don’t need to bring your own goggles.

It takes about an hour to reach Cook's Tower by boat, and even though our family took motion sickness medication, we felt a bit queasy. The BBQ cheeseburgers were incredibly delicious, just as mentioned in other reviews! The breakfast muffins were tasty, reminiscent of Costco's.

This was my family's first time participating after visiting the Big Island six times, and we were more satisfied than with any other tour. The beauty of the ocean was amazing.

船の上で、フィンのサイズを聞いて、サイズにあったものを貸してくれます。シュノーケリング道具も。
浮き輪も腰に巻くタイプの（子供から大人まで）ライフジャケット（？）浮きを貸してくれるので、ゴーグルなどの持参も必要ないです。
クックの塔まで１時間くらい船に揺られるので、私たち家族は（酔い止め薬を飲んでいても）少し酔いました。
ＢＢＱのチーズバーガーは他の書き込み通り、とっても美味しかったです！朝食のマフィンはコストコのかな？って感じで美味しかったです。
６度目のハワイ島で、初参加でしたがどの観光よりも満足で、海の綺麗さが素晴らしかったです。

I was satisfied with everything, including the guide's explanations, photo opportunities, lunch, cocoa with cookies, and their thoughtfulness. They prepare everything for cold weather, including upper and lower clothing, hats, and gloves, so if you prepare warm clothing in advance, you can truly enjoy the experience. However, be careful not to get too excited and make noise at the summit, as it can lead to oxygen deprivation and faintness. But the views are so stunning that you might find yourself wanting to celebrate! I highly recommend it!

I was very satisfied! 大満足でした！

Reviewed by: sachi

It was my first dolphin tour on the Big Island. I had tried three times on Oahu, but I wasn't lucky with the weather, so this was my fourth attempt!

It was absolutely amazing!! From the moment we got in, we could see dolphins up close! Even without searching hard, dolphins were swimming nearby, and it was so moving! I could hear their sounds the whole time!

Compared to Oahu, the travel time on the boat was shorter, and we didn't have to get on and off the boat multiple times. Dolphins kept coming to the same spot, so it felt like we could see them the whole time we were swimming.

Even if you're not a strong swimmer, they lend you a noodle, and the guide, Daisuke, pulls you to the dolphins, so it's very reassuring! Daisuke's dolphin talks during the car ride were also a lot of fun and really added to the tour! (By a strange twist of fate, he even shared some local stories!)

I definitely want to go back to the Big Island for this tour again! Thank you, Captain and Daisuke!!

ハワイ島での初めてのイルカツアーでした。
これまでオアフ島で３回チャレンジしましたが、

その後も必死に探さなくてもすぐにイルカが近くに泳いでいて、感動しきりでした！
イルカの声もずっと聞こえていました！

オアフ島に比べ、船に乗って移動する時間も短く、
何度も船を乗り降りしなくても、同じ場所でどんどんイルカがやって来てくれたので、
泳いでいる間ずっと見れたという感じです。

泳ぎが苦手でもヌードルを貸してもらえますし、
ガイドのダイスケさんがイルカの所まで引っ張って行ってくれるので安心です！
行き帰りの車の中でのダイスケさんのイルカトークもとっても楽しく、

Kona Kayaking & Snorkeling Sea Cave Adventure at Keauhou Bay - Ocean Safari's

Once in a lifetime experience

Reviewed by: Holly

My sister and I did the sea kayaking adventure our second day here, and we had a blast! It's about and hour out and an hour back, so be prepared to do some paddling, but well worth what's waiting for you at the end. Our guide showed us the sea caves, and let us take a dip in the most remote part of the world (think about it, no joke) and then took us to a small cove where we anchored to snorkel. Saw so many different fish, all different shapes and colors, and the water is crystal clear. After we had snacks on the lava rocks surrounding the cove and a few in the group tried their hand a cliff jumping (not for me, but very safe and looked like fun). HIGHLY recommend doing is excursion. One tip, bring water shoes! you can do it without but it would have been easier with. The guides, Angus and Dana, were awesome! Really fun and very knowledgeable.

野生のイルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜朝食・昼食付き＞

Blue sea, a sense of freedom, dolphins. 青い海、開放感、イルカ

Reviewed by: アンジェリカ

We participated as a couple in our 40s, with a child and my mother in her 70s who cannot speak English. The boat has two levels; the first floor has shaded areas and tables, but all the seats were "reserved," making it difficult to find a place to sit. We were the only Japanese family, and all announcements were in English. There was one men's restroom, one women's restroom, and one unisex restroom.

When we first arrived, there was a small breakfast buffet with about two types of muffin-like bread and fruit. Water, coffee, and soft drinks were free, but alcohol cost extra.

Right after departure, we were able to see a pod of dolphins swimming quite close to us, which was thrilling. There were no sea turtles, but flying fish were gliding through the air like birds, which was exciting! Upon reaching the snorkeling point, everyone gathered on the first floor for a detailed safety briefing about the snorkeling area. There seemed to be a class for those snorkeling for the first time. Unlike Japanese snorkeling tours, there was no selection of fins or goggles; it was self-service. Most people swam without lifeguards, so the number of lifeguards was limited, but there were long styrofoam rods that everyone seemed to hold onto while swimming.

For lunch, there was a buffet with bread, hamburgers, vegetables, and fruits, where we could take our favorite ingredients and make our own sandwiches. It was very delicious under the blue sky.

I thought we would arrive at the port by 12:30, but that was actually the end time for snorkeling. The water temperature was not too low, and the sea was deep, allowing us to see many fish. On the way back to the port, we were thrilled to see another pod of dolphins. The foreign participants were friendly and approachable, and I was particularly surprised that the customers were kind to my mother, who was flustered and unable to speak English, offering her their place in line. I thought this aspect of foreign culture was truly wonderful. By the way, my elderly mother stayed on the boat without swimming, but she said she had a great time without any worries.

After the tour, there were many small shops like stalls at the port, and I unexpectedly bought a Kona coffee bag that I had wanted for a long time, which was a nice bonus. I was filled with anxiety before signing up, but I would love to participate again.

40代夫婦、子供、70代英会話できない母親と参加。船は1階と2階があり、1階は日よけスペースとテーブルつきの席がありますが、どれも「reserved」で座れず、席を確保するのが大変でした。日本人家族は私たちだけ、アナウンスは全部英語です。トイレは男性用1、女性用1、男女兼用1でした。まず最初に行くと、朝食バイキング(小規模)をやっています。マフィンのようなパン2種程とフルーツ等。水、コーヒー、ソフトドリンクは無料。アルコールはお金がかかります。
出発してすぐにドルフィンの群れを見る事ができました。かなり近くまで泳いできてくれて感激。ウミガメはいませんでした。でもトビウオが鳥みたいにスイスイ飛んでいて感激！ポイントに到着し、全員1階に集合して、シュノーケルで泳いでいいエリア、安全確認の綿密な説明を受けます。シュノーケル初めての人のための教室もあったようです。日本のシュノーケルツアーのようにフィンやゴーグルを選んでくれることもなくセルフサービスです。ほとんとの人がライフセーバーなしで泳ぐので、ライフセーバーの数も限られていますが、ライフセーバーの代わりに細長いスチロール棒があり、これにつかまって皆泳いでいたようです。
ランチは、パン、ハンバーグ、野菜、果物などがバイキング形式に並んでいて、好きな具を自分で取ってはさんで食べる方式でした。青い空の下、とてもおいしいお味でした。
12時半に港に着くのかと思っていたら、シュノーケル終了が12時半でした。水温もそれほど低くなく、海が深くてたくさんの魚を見る事ができました。港に戻る途中、またイルカの群れを見る事ができて感激しました。参加している外国の人たちも、気さくに声をかけてくださったり、特に驚いたのは、英語が全然できなくておろおろしている母に、お客さん達が優しく接してくださり順番を譲ってくださったりしたことです。こういった外国の文化は本当に素晴らしいと思いました。ちなみに高齢の母は、泳がずにずっと船の上にいましたが、気兼ねなく楽しかったと話していました。ツアーが終わって、港の停泊所にはたくさんの屋台？のような小物のお店が軒を連ねていて、以前から欲しかったコナコーヒーのバッグを思いがけず購入することができ、二度特でした。申し込む前は不安でいっぱいでしたが、また参加したいです。

Mount Fuji has been registered as a World Heritage Site, but I don't think there's another mountain where you can drive up to such a high elevation.

The road conditions can be quite poor, so those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious. (However, since it can be troublesome to feel sleepy at high altitudes, it's worth considering medication...)

The view is absolutely breathtaking; looking down at the clouds, the sunset, and fortunately, it was close to a new moon, so I was moved to see how many stars are actually visible. If I ever come back to Big Island or if someone I know is going, I would definitely recommend this tour. I think going on your own would be very difficult, so I recommend participating in a tour.

As for keeping warm, it can be quite cold even near the Onizuka Visitor Center. It's a good idea to bring long pants and an additional layer like a sweatshirt or hoodie. Wearing the provided cold-weather gear will also keep you warm enough.

富士山が世界遺産に登録されましたが、それより高い山頂付近まで車で登れる山

道路事情は非常に悪い道も通りますので、酔いやすい方はご注意ください。

また防寒ですが本当にオニヅカビジターセンター付近でも十分に寒いです。
長ズボン＋１枚羽織れるトレーナやパーカー等の持参がよいです。あとは貸し出しの防寒具を

What impressed me the most was the thoughtfulness of Captain and the swim supporter, Daisuke, towards the participants. Their humorous orientation and the way they interacted on the boat created a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere for the entire tour group. It was a tour that clearly conveyed their desire to prioritize customer satisfaction. Perhaps it was also because we were all Japanese.

Now, regarding the dolphins, we spotted a pod just three minutes after departing from the harbor and quickly dropped in. We were able to see many dolphins up close. We chased the pod multiple times, dropping in ahead of them repeatedly, enjoying dolphin watching countless times. While on the boat, we also got to see adorable baby dolphins (the size of skipjack tuna) performing spin jumps, and we truly had a wonderful time surrounded by dolphins.

Meeting the dolphins greatly enhanced our satisfaction, but above all, it was the friendly and kind nature of Captain and Daisuke that filled our hearts during the tour. Thank you very much. It was fun.

最も印象に残ったのは、キャプテンさん、スイムサポータ（ダイスケさん）の参加者への心遣いです。ユーモアを入れたオリエンテーションや船上での対応など、お二人のお人柄もあってツアー客全体が緊張感ほぐれリラックスした居心地の良い雰囲気になりました。随所にお客さんの満足を優先させたいという思いが伝わるツアーでした。日本人同士ということもあったのかもしれませんね。

さて肝心のイルカちゃんですが、船上、3分。ハーバーから出発した直後から群れを発見して早速、ドロップ。たくさんのイルカを間近に見ることができました。その後も何度となく群れを追いかけ、先回りしてはドロップを繰り返して数えることが出来ない回数、ドルフィンウォッチを楽しむことができました。また船上にいるときも、かわいい赤ちゃんイルカ（カツオサイズ）のスピンジャンプを見ることができたり、本当にイルカに囲まれた楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

イルカと会えたことが満足度を引き上げましたが、何と言ってもキャプテン、ダイスケさんの気さくで優しいお人柄で心が満たされたツアーでした。ありがとうございました。楽しかったです。

Snorkeling was fun, but... シュノーケリングは楽しかったけど。

Reviewed by: orange

We were the only Japanese family. I forgot to contact them the day before, but it was totally fine. The ups and downs were intense, and I was desperately holding onto the boat, terrified of being thrown off. It's not suitable for those with back problems. There was a 1-2 minute break along the way, but the trip there was much longer and quite tough compared to the return. Shorter people especially had a hard time, so it's better to sit towards the back, but the foreigners had already boarded first. I got really seasick on the way there. Since no one spoke Japanese, I couldn't express my discomfort even if I felt unwell. There were no restrooms, and we couldn't get to shore. The boat was narrow and in the blazing sun without any shade, which might be tough for those on their period. You can leave your luggage behind.

Snorkeling was a lot of fun, and the female guide was very kind and helpful. There were only a few fish, but I saw an eel. A mother and baby dolphin were also swimming around the boat. The snorkeling time was about an hour. On the way back, they served fruit and drinks. It was a nearby place accessible by car, so I think individuals could go there too. There were also other tours that came by car. On the way back, they took us to see caves that can only be viewed from the boat (just a quick look), which was nice.

It was a valuable experience, so I had a decent amount of fun, but I don't want to participate again (laughs). I think the American atmosphere with mostly foreigners is enjoyable, so if you're energetic, go for it!

日本人は私たち家族だけだった。前の日に連絡を忘れたけど全然ＯＫでした。
アップダウンが激しくとにかくボートに必死につかまっていないと振り落とされる恐怖で必死。腰の悪い人は無理。
途中で１～２分休憩が入るけど、行きの時間は帰りより長くかなりきつかった。
背の小さい人はとくに大変なので、なるべく後ろの場所に座るといいけど外国人勢がすでに先に乗っていた。
行きで船酔いがひどくなった。
日本語は全く通じないので体調が悪くても訴える余裕はなかった。トイレもないし岸に上がることもできない。ボートは狭く日陰のない炎天下なので生理中の人には厳しいかも。手荷物は置いておけます。
シュノーケリングはとても楽しかったし、ガイドの女性もとても優しく親切な方でした。
魚はほんの少し。ウツボが見れた。イルカの親子もボートの周りを泳いでいました。シュノーケリングの時間は１時間ほど。帰りはフルーツ、ドリンクのサービス。
車でも行ける近場の場所だったので個人でも行けると思った。他にも車で来ているツアーもありました。
帰りはボートでしか見れない洞窟などに（ちょっと見るだけ）連れていってくれたのでそれは良かったです。
貴重な体験だったのでまぁそれなりに楽しかったけど、私はもう二度と参加したくないです（笑）
外人ばかりでアメリカンな雰囲気が楽しいとは思うので元気な人はどうぞ！

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 sky full of stars☆with a bonus 満天の星☆おまけ付き

Reviewed by: hiroko

Next time I visit the Big Island, I decided to participate in the "Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour." It was cloudy and rainy in the morning, and I was worried about whether I would be able to see the stars, but at the summit of Mauna Kea, we were above the clouds and were able to see a beautiful sunset and many constellations. The guide's explanations of the constellations were enjoyable and easy to understand, and thanks to that, I had a wonderful time.

As a bonus, I saw Hawaiian geese on Saddle Road, and I was also able to see the Southern Cross in the Northern Hemisphere.

次回ハワイ島を訪れるときは「マウナケア山頂 サンセット＆星空観測ツアー)に参加しようと決めていました。朝から曇り空＆雨が降り、星が見られるか心配でしたが、マウナケア山頂は雲の上、綺麗な夕日と沢山の星座を見ることが出来ました。ガイドの星座の説明が楽しく、解りやすく、おかげですばらしい時間を過ごしました。
おまけはサドルロードでハワイアングースを見られたこと。さらに北半球で南十字星が見られたこと。

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

The weather was great. 天気が最高でした

Reviewed by: まちまち

They lend you winter clothing (jackets, pants, gloves, hats), but it was good that I also prepared for the cold to some extent. Although the weather was nice and it was said not to be too cold, it was quite chilly compared to the ground temperature. I was torn between sunrise and sunset, but since it was a day when the moon was just starting to wane from full, it seems that sunset was the right choice. If I had chosen sunrise, it seems the moon wouldn't have set for a while, making it difficult to see the stars. Mauna Loa was beautifully visible, along with the sea of clouds, the shadow of Mauna Kea, the sunset, and the starry sky—it was perfect. The guide, Mr. Konno, explained the stars very clearly. It was a great memory to be able to climb a mountain higher than Mount Fuji. Thank you.

防寒着（上着、ズボン、手袋、帽子）を貸してくれるのですが、自分でもある程度防寒していってよかったです。お天気がよかったのでそれほど寒くないという話でしたが、地上温度と比べるとかなり寒かったです。サンライズかサンセットで悩んだのですが、日程的に満月から少しかけはじめた日だったのでサンセットで正解だったようです。サンライズにしていたら、月がなかなか沈まないので星が見えにくかったらしいです。マウナロアもきれいに見え、雲海、マウナケアの影、夕日、星空パーフェクトでした。ガイドの今野さんの星の説明はとてもわかりやすかったです。富士山よりも高い山に登ることができてよい思い出になりました。ありがとうございます。

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 so much fun! とにかく楽しかった！

Reviewed by: TANAKA

I read experiences about the high encounter rate with dolphins and decided to book this tour. As the captain mentioned, the number of drops was higher than other tours, and I was able to see many more dolphins up close than I expected! Since I can't swim, Daisuke was there to help me, allowing me to see the dolphins really closely and listen to detailed explanations about their behavior, which made me very satisfied. Thank you for taking photos as well.

イルカとの遭遇率が高いという体験談を読み、こちらのツアーを申し込みました。キャプテンのおっしゃっていた通り、ドロップ数が他のツアーよりも多く、イルカを期待していた以上に沢山、そして間近に見ることができました！泳げない私にはダイスケさんがついて下さって本当に近くでイルカをみることができ、イルカの生態などの説明をしっかり聞くこともできて、大満足です。写真も撮ってくださり、ありがとうございました。

野生のマンタ　シュノーケリングツアー ＜英語ガイド／軽食付き＞

The manta was good, but マンタは良かったけど

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The manta rays drifting in the night sea were enchanting, but it was very cold and the waves were quite high. The snorkeling lasted about an hour, which was pretty exhausting. I had no energy at all due to the cold and seasickness. It was scary to try to return to the boat on my own after getting separated from the group in the night sea, so I recommend being in good health before participating.

夜の海に漂うマンタは幻想的で良かったですが…
とても寒いしけっこう波が高いです。
１時間ほどのシュノーケリングだったのでかなりしんどかった。
寒さと波酔いでまったく余裕がありませんでした。
夜の海で自力でグループから離れて船に戻るのは怖くてがんばりましたが、
体調を万全にしての参加をお勧めします。

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＞

It's an exhilarating experience! スリリングな体験です！

Reviewed by: megu

During my trip to the Big Island, I was considering snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay. There were several tour options for transportation (like sea kayaking or boat rides), but I decided to join this tour because I wanted to enjoy the journey itself and it had great reviews.

I was extremely satisfied! We traveled by rubber boat, which was thrilling with quite a bit of speed. It felt like being on a roller coaster, bouncing up and down with the waves. At first, I was scared when we suddenly picked up speed, but once I got used to it, the wind felt nice, and I enjoyed it like an attraction.

Snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay was also beautiful, with clear waters, magnificent coral reefs, and a variety of fish. After about an hour, when I was getting tired, we returned to the boat where drinks, snacks, fruits, and sandwiches were prepared, and they were delicious.

On the way back, we were shown caves and coves formed by lava, which can only be seen from the sea, making it a valuable experience. Additionally, we were lucky enough to encounter a pod of dolphins, and the boat stopped to give us time to enjoy watching the leaping dolphins. It was my first time seeing so many dolphins at once.

Overall, there was never a dull moment, and it became a wonderful memory. I highly recommend it.

As a note, the travel time on the rubber boat is quite long, and towels are not included in the tour, so I think it's a good idea to bring one for when you get back on the boat after snorkeling.

ハワイ島への旅行中にケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケリングをしようと考えていました。
移動手段としてはいくつかツアーがありましたが（シーカヤックや船での移動）、移動そのものでも楽しみたかったこと、口コミ評価も高かったことからこちらのツアーへの参加を決めました。
ところ、、大満足でした！
ゴムボートで移動するのですが、かなりスピードが出てスリリングです。ジェットコースターに乗っているような感覚で、波に揺られて上下にも激しく揺れます。はじめに急にスピードが出た時は怖かったですが、慣れれば風も気持ちよく、アトラクション気分で楽しめました。
ケアラケクア湾でのシュノーケリングも、透明な海に壮大なサンゴ礁に様々なお魚が住んでおり、とても美しかったです。１時間くらいでしょうか、疲れた頃にボートに戻るとドリンク・スナック・フルーツ・サンドイッチが用意されており、とても美味しかったです。
帰りは途中に溶岩でできた洞窟や入江を案内してくれますが、これは海からでないと見ることのできない風景なので、貴重な経験でした。
また、運良くイルカの群れに遭遇したところ、ボートを止めてゆっくり時間をとってくれたので、飛び跳ねるイルカを堪能しました。一度にあんなに沢山のイルカを見たのは初めてです。
全体を通して飽きる箇所がなく、とても良い思い出になりました。おすすめです。

注意点とすれば、ゴムボートに乗っての移動時間がかなり長いということとと、タオルはツアーに含まれていないので、シュノーケリングからボードにあがったときのために用意した方がいいと思います。

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＞

Enjoying Hawaii Island from the sea. 海から楽しむハワイ島

Reviewed by: nori

The general flow of this tour is dolphin watching → snorkeling → lunch → sightseeing along the coastline. With about 15 participants sitting on the edge of the boat, we moved through the ocean boldly, which was a bit nerve-wracking at first, but it felt great to travel while enjoying the view of the Big Island and the sea with the wind in our faces.

On the way to the snorkeling spot, we saw a lot of dolphins, and being able to see them up close was the highlight for me. The boat quickly maneuvered ahead of the direction the pod was moving, allowing us to see the dolphins up close, which I think is unique to this boat. I couldn't help but keep clicking the camera shutter.

When we started snorkeling, equipment was distributed and there was an explanation, but I hardly understood any English. Since we were the only Japanese participants, I was mimicking those around me to put on the gear, and it was helpful that other participants noticed and kindly gestured to point out important things. I was thrilled to see beautiful fish up close while snorkeling, but the seawater felt cold, so I returned to the boat early.

After that, drinks were served on the boat, and we enjoyed a leisurely time while having sandwiches along with snacks and fruits. On the way back, we admired various points along the coastline that had been eroded by the waves into strange shapes, but it was disappointing that we didn't enter any caves.

This tour is perfect for enjoying the waters of the Big Island, and I was satisfied with the thrilling experiences that are not commonly found in Japan, as well as the opportunity to experience Hawaii's nature from the sea.

このツアーのおおまかな流れは、イルカ鑑賞→シュノーケリング→ランチ→海岸線のスポット見学になります。
15人程度の参加者がボートのふちに腰掛けるスタイルで豪快に海を移動しますので始めは緊張しましたが、ハワイ島と海を眺めつつ風を受けながらの移動は気持ちがいいです。

シュノーケリングのポイントへ向かうまでにたくさんイルカがいて、間近で見れたのが一番嬉しかったです。群れの移動する方向にボートがいち早く先回りするので間近にイルカ見れるのはこのボートならではかと思います。ついカメラのシャッターを切り続けてしまいました。

シュノーケリングを始める際、道具が配られ説明がありますが英語がほとんどわかりません。さらに日本人は私たちだけのため周囲のまねをして道具を着けていると、注意する点があったらしく周りの参加者が気付いて身振りで親切に教えてくれたのには助けられました。
シュノーケリング中きれいな魚も間近で見れて嬉しかったですが、海水が冷たく感じられ早々とボートへ戻ってしまいました。

その後ボートの上でドリンクが配られスナックやフルーツなどもあるサンドイッチのランチを取りながらのんびりした時間を過ごします。
帰りは海岸線に沿って波に削られ奇妙な形をしたポイントなど各所をボートから眺めますが、洞窟には入ることが無くこちらは残念でした。

ハワイ島の海を楽しむのに最適なツアーで、日本ではあまり見掛けないスリリングな体験や海からハワイの自然を体感できる内容に満足しました。

I was moved. 感動しました

Reviewed by: ももちゃん

We were blessed with good weather, and at the Mauna Kea summit sunset, we were able to enjoy a beautiful sunset. I was truly moved by the grandeur of nature. This was my second time stargazing, and I was satisfied to see the Southern Cross, satellites, the Milky Way, and shooting stars. It was also great to have photos taken as a keepsake.

お天気に恵まれ、マウナケア山頂サンセットではきれいな夕日を堪能できました。自然の雄大さには、本当に感動しました。星空観測は２度目でしたが、南十字星や人工衛星、天の川や流星も見れて満足です。また写真撮影をしていただいたのも記念になって良かったです。
