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 can't believe I can see it so close... こんな近くで見られるなんて・・・

Reviewed by: surfstyle

At first, I only intended to sign up for the dolphin tour, but since they mentioned that we could see manta rays, I participated with some hesitation. I drove to the meeting place by rental car, but the map on the internet was a bit vague, so I got flustered trying to find the location. However, I received detailed instructions over the phone, so I arrived safely. You can check in at a spacious parking lot with public restrooms at Honokohau Harbor, which is a bit further in than the online map suggested. If you're going on your own, be careful. I stayed in Waikoloa, and it took about 30 minutes by car.

The fins, masks, and snorkels were relatively new, and since it was nighttime in the ocean, you can rent a wetsuit for $10. Many Japanese women are petite, so my wife, who is 154 cm tall, needed an XS size. I was used to the ocean, so I was fine with just a long-sleeve rash guard and wetsuit pants in July in Hawaii, but for those who aren't used to it, I think it's better to rent a wetsuit instead of bringing one, as it can be bulky.

It took about 20 minutes to reach the manta ray location. You can watch the sunset from the water, so I recommend it as a sunset cruise as well. Once the sun sets and it gets dark, the encounter with the manta rays begins.

Although it gets dark, participants don't swim around separately; instead, we all hold onto something like a floating raft and drift together on the water, which is reassuring. The raft has a spotlight, and manta rays come close to eat the plankton illuminated by it, so you can see them spinning and dancing right in front of you, over and over again. The photos I uploaded here were taken with a compact digital camera, and they come close enough to capture beautiful shots without needing a special camera.

Since you're floating while holding onto the raft, even those who usually don't get seasick might feel a bit queasy, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication. However, the experience is so moving that I absolutely recommend it. The dolphin tour is fun, but the emotional impact of seeing the manta rays might be even greater.

Lastly, the tour guide (sometimes a guy?) was very kind and spoke Japanese, always checking in with "Are you okay?" while we were on the water, which I found very reassuring.

最初は、イルカツアーだけ申し込むつもりでしたが、マンタが見られるということなので、半信半疑で参加しました。
集合場所へは、レンタカーで自力で行ったのですが、ネットに出ていた集合場所の地図が少しアバウトだったので場所がわからずに焦りました。でも、電話で丁寧に教えてもらえたので、無事到着。ネットの地図よりももう少し奥、ホノコハウハーバーの公衆トイレのある広々とした駐車場でチェックインできます。自分で行かれる方は要注意です。ワイコロアに泊まっていましたが、車で30分でした。

フィンも、マスクも、シュノーケルも新しめの物ですし、夜の海ですから、ウエットスーツは10ドルで借りられます。日本の女性は小柄な方が多いので、私の妻は身長154cmでXSサイズでした。
私は、海には慣れていたので7月のハワイだし、長袖ラッシュガードとウエットパンツでOKでしたが、慣れていない方はウエットスーツを持参すると嵩張りますので、レンタルされると良いと思います。

マンタの場所までは、20分位?で到着。その場で海の上から夕日が沈むのを眺められますので、サンセットクルーズ?としてもお勧めです。
夕日が沈んで、あたりが暗くなってきたら、いよいよマンタとの遭遇が始まります。

周囲は暗くなりますが、参加者がバラバラで泳ぐのではなく、海に浮かぶいかだのような物に捕まって、全員一緒に海上を漂うことになりますので安心です。
そのいかだにスポットライトがついていて、そこに照らされるプランクトンを食べるためにマンタが寄ってきますから、もうホントに目の前でマンタが何度も、何度も、何度もクルクルと回転してダンスを見せてくれますよ。
※その時撮影した写真がここにUPしたものです。特殊なカメラではなく、コンパクトデジカメで撮影してもこれだけ綺麗に撮れるほど近くに来てくれます。

イカダに捕まって浮かんだ状態ですから、船酔いしにくい人でも酔いやすいので、酔い止め薬は飲んでいったほうがいいと思いますが、それに勝る感動がありますので、絶対にお勧めです。イルカツアーも楽しいですけど、イルカよりも感動が大きいかもです。

最後に、ツアーガイドのお姉さん(時にはお兄さん?)は、日本語でとっても優しく対応してくれますし、海の上でも、いつも「大丈夫?」と気遣ってくれるので、とっても心強いと思います。

  • コンパクトデジカメで撮影してこの迫力です。

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

I want to come back again and again!! 何度でも来たい!!

Reviewed by: 名古屋嬢

In the pitch-black night, the beautiful stars and the faintly glowing Kilauea volcano in the distance were breathtaking. It was a moment where even blinking felt like a waste, as we could see shooting stars.

The explanations from our guide, Mr. Yamamoto, were very clear and enjoyable! With the sunset and starry sky as a backdrop, we were able to take beautiful photos, allowing me to remember that scenery anytime, even while in Japan. He pointed out the stars with a laser, making it easy to understand which stars belonged to which constellations. We also had fun conversations during the car ride to and from the site.

Next time, I want to bring my parents along, and I would love to request Mr. Yamamoto as our guide again at Masashi Nature School!

真っ暗な夜の闇に、きれいな星と、遠くにぼんやりと赤く見えるキラウエア火山。
流れ星を見ることもでき、まばたきをするのがもったいない時間でした。

ガイドの山本さんの説明がとてもわかりやすく、楽しかったです!
夕日や星空をバックに、きれいに写真を撮っていただいたので、日本にいても、いつでもあの景色を思い出すことができます。
レーザー?で星を指し示してくれるので、どの星がどの星座のことなのかがはっきりとわかりました。
また、行きと帰りの車内でも楽しくお話をさせていただきました。
次回は両親を連れて行きたいのですが、次回もマサシネイチャースクールで、山本さんのガイドでお願いしたいです!!

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>

Thank you for the wonderful experience. 素敵な体験をありがとう

Reviewed by: Tama

I might be able to meet a manta ray?? Just imagining it makes me excited, and that alone prompted me to sign up.

I started to wonder about the staff—who they would be and if they could speak Japanese. As the meeting time approached, I began to feel a bit anxious, but the person who came to pick me up was the very cheerful and bright Kouji, along with a captain who had a wonderful smile and was very kind, which put me at ease.

When we arrived at the point, we enjoyed the beautiful sunset for a while while putting on our masks and getting ready. The beauty of the sunset changed its expression moment by moment, making it hard to look away! It felt like the hustle and bustle of city life was being purified by the sunset, and my heart felt warm and enchanted!

Suppressing my eager feelings, I entered the sea! The night sea was colder and darker than I expected, but Kouji held my hand firmly and guided me safely to the boat for manta watching.

The manta rays were larger and more impressive than I had imagined, swimming around in front of me, spinning again and again! There were moments when I thought I would bump into them! They swam so close, spinning around right in front of me. In the end, the manta rays performed a welcoming dance for me countless times—maybe a dozen?

Unlike dolphins, manta rays love lively environments, so it's easy to tell when a tour has them. I wonder how many boats were floating in the sea? Among the countless tours, ours was a lucky one where the manta rays welcomed us first.

I am grateful that the experienced and skilled staff contributed to today's success. Whether we would see them or not was a binary outcome, but for us, who participated in this limited time as travelers, the staff's expertise led to an unforgettable experience!

If I want to see manta rays again, I would love to sign up for Manta University, and I highly recommend it to anyone planning to visit the Big Island!

I am thankful for the precious experience and the memories I was able to create!

Thank you very much!☆

マンタに会えるかも??想像しただけでワクワクしそれだけで申し込みをしました。

スタッフの方がどんな方なのか?日本語で大丈夫なのか??
集合時間が近づいてくると少しそんな事もきになり始めましたが
お迎えに来て下さったのはとても明るい陽気なkoujiさんと
笑顔が素敵でとても親切なキャプテンで一安心しました。

ポイントに着くと少しの間美しいサンセットを楽しみながらマスクを装着し準備を進めます。サンセットの美しさは刻々と表情を変え一瞬々目が離せません!
日頃暮らす都会の喧騒をサンセットに浄化してくれた様に心がほっこりうっとりします!

逸る気持ちを抑えて海に入ります!
夜の海は思ったより冷たくて暗いですがマンタをウオッチングするボートまではKoujiさんがしっかりと手を握って安心安全に誘導してくれます。

マンタは想像以上に多きくて大迫力
目の前をくるくる回転しながら何度も何度も泳いで行きます!
何度マンタとぶつかる!思った瞬間があったことでしょう~!??
それ程目の前の近距離をくるくる回転しながら泳いで行きます。
結局マンタは十数回?数えられない程目の前で歓迎のダンスを魅せてくれました。

マンタはイルカと違って賑やかなのが大好きなのでマンタが来ているツアーはすぐ分かります。何艘の船が海に浮かんでいた事でしょうか?数えきれないツアーの数の中でも
私達のツアーはマンタが真っ先にお出迎えしてくれたラッキーなツアーになりました。

これも経験豊富な熟練されたスタッフの方々の感が今日の成果に繋がったと感謝しております。会えるか!会えないか?Oか100どちらかしかない結果を体験する事になる訳ですが旅行者という限られた時間の中で参加する私達にとってはスタッフの手腕が運に繋がり忘れられない素敵な時間を過ごせた事に感謝いたしております!

またマンタを観たくなったらマンタ大学に申し込みたいですし
Big islandを訪れる予定にある方にはマンタ大学をイチオシしたいと思います!

貴重な体験を思い出を作る事が出来た事に感謝です!

ありがとうございました☆

ケアウホウ湾 シーカヤック&シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/軽食付き>by オーシャンサファリ・カヤック

It was fun! 楽しかったー!!

Reviewed by: mai

We were the only Japanese participants, and the tour was entirely in English. However, they explained everything slowly and clearly, which was very kind of them. I imagined we would only kayak a little and do some snorkeling, but we actually kayaked quite a bit and went far. It's not really recommended for those who lack stamina. But for active people like us, it was the perfect tour! It was so much fun!! We crossed beautiful seas and went right up to the cave, which was thrilling! For those who are brave, they also take you to a spot where you can jump from a 10-meter cliff, which was incredibly refreshing!

日本人の参加者は私たちだけで、すべて英語のツアーです。ただ、わかりやすいようにゆっくり説明してくれてとても親切でした。少しだけカヤックしてシュノーケリングのイメージでしたが、結構がっつりカヤックして遠くまで行きました。体力のない方はあまりおすすめではありません。でもアクティブな私達にはぴったりなツアーでした♪すっごく楽しかったです!!きれいな海を渡り、洞窟の前まで行ってスリル満天でした!勇気のある人は10mの崖からジャンプできるスポットにも連れて行ってもらえるので、すごく爽快でした☆

Majestic ocean! 壮大な海!

Reviewed by: Y.N

We didn't understand English at all, but we received instructions written in Japanese, so there were no problems at all.
We were super excited to encounter a pod of dolphins and whales!
It would be amazing to capture videos with an underwater camera!
The number of fish while snorkeling was a bit on the lower side, so I give it four stars.
The caves are viewed from the boat.
But overall, we were very satisfied!

英語が全くわからない私たちでしたが、日本語で書かれた説明書をいただけるので、何の問題もなかったです。
沖でイルカやクジラの群れに会うことができて大興奮でした☆

シュノーケルでは魚の数がやや少なめだったので星4つです。
洞窟は船の上から見る感じです。
でもトータル的に大満足です!。。

What is this?! なんじゃあこれ!

Reviewed by: リチャード

The moment I looked up at the night sky, the words that came out of my mouth were, "I can't believe I can see a sky full of stars in real life, something I've only ever seen in a planetarium." Everyone in the tour group was expressing the same sentiment all around. We had a casual stargazing study session, and when I showed my friends the commemorative photos with the starry background, they asked, "Isn't that a composite image?" It became a wonderful memory along with the sunset at the Subaru Telescope.

夜空を見上げた瞬間に口からでた言葉です。今までプラネタリウムの世界でしか見たことのなかった満天の星をリアルに本当に夜空で見れるなんて。ツアー同伴者の皆さんも同じ言葉をアッチコッチで発していました。にわかの星座勉強会、あとで友人に見せたら「合成でしょ?」と言われた星空バックの記念写真など。スバル天文台の夕日とともに素晴らしい思い出作りとなりました。

Thrilling スリル満点

Reviewed by: 辻公恵

I highly recommend this for people who love marine sports. It's a 4 to 5-hour tour on a rubber boat. During that time, the guide shares fun stories, and if we encounter a pod of dolphins, we can paddle alongside them. At the snorkeling spot, we stop the boat and everyone enjoys snorkeling individually. For lunch, they provide sandwiches, fruits, and drinks. We spend about two hours here, and once we're full, we get back on the boat to start rafting along the exposed lava rock formations. We went to the blowhole area while the guide entertained us with thrilling steering. We lost track of time and had an incredibly fun experience. The beautifully clear blue sea, playing with the fish, made it a truly enjoyable time. Thank you very much!

マリンスポーツが好きな人にはお勧めです。4,5時間ゴムボートの上でのツアーです。その間ガイドさんの楽しいおしゃべりとイルカの群れに出会えばイルカと一緒にボートを進め、シュノーケリングの場所ではボートを止めて皆シュノーケリングをめいめい楽しみます。お昼はサンドイッチやフルーツ、ドリンクなど出ます。ここで2時間ぐらい過ごしおなか一杯になったら又ボートに乗り今度は溶岩丸出しの岩肌に沿ってラフティング開始、溶岩説明など汐吹岩の場所まで行きスリリングな舵さばきで私たちを楽しませていただきました。時間を忘れあっという間の楽しいときを過ごしました。真っ青な透明度の良い綺麗な海、魚たちと戯れ時間を忘れ満喫してとっても楽しかったです。有難うございました。

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

It's a series of emotions that feels like being in heaven; I absolutely recommend it!! 天国にいるかのような感動の連続、絶対オススメです!!

Reviewed by: Ayumi

From start to finish, everything was taken into consideration, so I was able to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. The sunset over the sea of clouds was simply magnificent. This view was so far removed from everyday life that it felt almost like being in heaven, truly surreal. The starry sky was filled with so many stars that I couldn't even recognize the constellations, and I forgot the cold, overwhelmed by awe.

I didn't bring my camera, but the guide took high-quality photos, allowing me to take home wonderful memories. It's great that they are available for free download. They even showed us Saturn through a telescope. It was interesting how they explained the climate and geography of the Big Island while we were in the car, showcasing the changing scenery.

It was very cold at the summit, so the warm clothing was truly appreciated. This is a must-have. Even those who are sensitive to the cold can enjoy themselves comfortably if they have warm shoes. The lunch came with miso soup, and the cookies at the summit were a nice touch. I felt very lucky to have come to Mauna Kea and to have participated in this tour. Thank you very much.

最初から最後まで全部配慮されていたので、私は安心して感動役ができました。なんといっても雲海の夕日がすばらしかったです。この景色は日常から遠く離れすぎていて、まるで天国にいるかのように幻想的でした。星空は星座が分からない程びっしり星が散らばっていて、寒さも忘れて感嘆の声を上げてしましました。

カメラを持っていかなかったのですが、ガイドの方が高品質のカメラで撮影してくださったので、楽しみを持ち帰ることができました。無料でダウンロードできるのがまた素敵です。望遠鏡で土星も見せてくれました。車の中でもハワイ島の気候や地理を、変わっていく景色を見せながら説明してくださるのがおもしろかったです。

山頂はとっても寒かったので、防寒着は本当にありがたかったです 。これは必須ですね。冷え性の人も、靴の防寒さえしてくれば、快適に過ごせるでしょう。お弁当もお味噌汁つきでしたし、山頂のクッキーもうれしかったです。
マウナケアにこられて、このツアーに参加できて、とてもラッキーでした。ありがとうございました。

Zodiac ゾディアック号

Reviewed by: takuma horiuchi

This time, I visited Hawaii for my honeymoon and went to the Big Island for the first time. Since it was the Big Island, I was looking for activities to experience its nature, and I found this tour. The Zodiac boat is an inflatable boat, so it was thrilling, and I could fully enjoy the Hawaiian breeze. During the voyage, I was able to see many schools of fish and wild dolphins. While snorkeling, I got to see various fish in the beautiful sea, which was very satisfying. Everyone else who participated with us was foreign, and there were no staff who spoke Japanese, which was a bit inconvenient, but it was a valuable experience overall. For lunch, they prepared sandwiches, snacks, and fruits right there on the spot. Eating lunch on the boat was pleasant and fantastic. However, while moving, despite being an inflatable boat, it goes at quite a speed, so you have to hold on tightly, or you might get thrown off. Therefore, it may not be recommended for elderly people or those who are prone to seasickness. Nonetheless, I had a very valuable experience and was satisfied. Thank you!

今回ハネムーンでハワイを訪れ初めてハワイ島に訪れました。せっかくのハワイ島なのでハワイ島の自然を感じられるアクティビティを探してたところこのツアーを見つけました。ゾディアック号はゴムボートなのでスリリングでハワイの風を存分に感じることができました。航海の途中では魚の群れや野生のイルカをたくさん見ることができました。シュノーケリングではとても綺麗な海の中で様々な魚を見ることができ大満足でした。一緒に参加した人たちは自分たち以外はすべて外国人でショップの人たちも日本語をしゃべれる人がいなかったため少し不便でしたがそれ以上に貴重な体験ができました。ランチにはサンドイッチやスナック菓子、フルーツまでその場で切って用意してくれます。ボートの上で食べるランチも気持ちよく最高でした。ただ移動中はゴムボートにもかかわらずかなりのスピードで走るのでかなり踏ん張って捕まってないと振り落とされそうになります。なのでご年配の方や船酔いしやすい方はあまりお勧めできないかもしれません。ただ私は大変貴重な体験ができ満足でした。

It was my first time snorkeling, but they provided the flotation devices and followed us closely in the water. There was also someone watching from the boat, so I felt safe and enjoyed myself. Since we moved to where the dolphins are, I think the encounter rate is close to 100 percent. I participated alone, but they were very considerate, helping with everything from getting on and off the boat to taking photos. I highly recommend it!

はじめてのシュノーケルでしたが、浮き具もかしてくれるし、海の中でもしっかりフォローしてくれました。船からも一人、見ていてくれるので、安心して楽しめました。イルカのいる場所まで移動するので遭遇率は100パーセントとに近いと思います。ひとりでの参加でしたが、シュノーケルだけでなく、船の乗り降りから、写真から何かとお気遣いいただしました。おすすめです!

The participants were a foreign elderly couple, one foreign woman, and us, a couple from Nagoya, Japan, along with our 10-year-old son, making a total of six people. At the beginning, during check-in, we were asked if we could speak English, and we were given a printed explanation in Japanese. However, that printout did not necessarily follow the order of the spots we would visit. The captain provided explanations while making jokes, but it was quite confusing. I thought it would have been helpful if he had indicated which part he was explaining at the moment. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand the details of the explanations at each point, which was disappointing. Reading the printout was also a hassle, especially for children. Our family, who can only speak broken English, really felt the need to be able to communicate in English! My husband asked the captain several times to speak in Japanese, and when he said it in English, the captain replied that he couldn't speak Japanese, which was amusing to witness.

On our way to the bay, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and it was adorable to see a baby dolphin swimming alongside its parent! If I could wish for anything, it would have been to swim with them. Later, the captain quickly spotted a whale and made a swift turn to approach it. We were curious about what he was pointing at, and to our surprise, there was a whale right in front of us! The day before, we had participated in a kayak tour to a cave and heard that the whales would leave in April, so we were amazed to see a wild whale up close for the first time. Our family was incredibly moved by the experience.

Additionally, the captain occasionally tried to speak Japanese for our sake, but it seemed he had mistakenly learned to refer to whales as "Godzilla," as he kept pointing at the whale and saying, "Godzilla! Godzilla!" We couldn't help but laugh when we realized what he meant. This was our first time on the Big Island, and the water was incredibly clear. We swam with many tropical fish and felt like we could stay there forever, losing track of time while exploring underwater. The water temperature was warm in the shallow areas and cooler in the deeper parts, but we were constantly amazed by the stunning blue of the ocean. The lunch sandwiches were delicious, and the captain prepared fresh pineapple for us, which was perfectly chilled and fantastic! The boat was fast and thrilling with sharp turns, and our child was overjoyed. We plan to come back to the Big Island next year!

参加者は、外国人の老夫婦、外国人女性1人と私達、日本の名古屋人夫婦と10才の息子の6人でした。始めに、チェックイン時に英語が話せるか確認されて、日本語の説明プリントが渡されましたが、そのプリントは、必ずしも周る順でなく、スポットで立ち寄ってくれてキャプテンがなにやら、ジョークを交じながら説明してくれてるのですが、ちんぷんかんぷんで、説明の時に今はここを説明してるとか言ってくれると解って良かったのになと思いました。なので、ポイントごとの説明内容は、解らずで残念でした。やはり、プリントを読むのも面倒なので、特に子供などは。かたことの英語しか話せないうちらファミリーは、英語が話せなきゃいかん!とつくづく痛感したのでした。主人は、何度かキャプテンに日本語で言って!と英語で言えば、キャプテンも日本語話せんよと返してましたが、その2人のやりとりは、笑えました。湾に行く途中、イルカの群れに会い赤ちゃんイルカが、親子で並走したりして可愛かったです!欲言えば、一緒に泳ぎたかったですが。その後、キャプテンは、目ざとくクジラを見つけると素早く方向転換し、スーッとクジラに近づきはじめ私達は、なんだろうと思い指差す方を見てみると、なんと!小さいながらもクジラが目の前すぐそこにいるではありませんか!前日にカヤックで洞窟行くツアーに参加して、クジラは、四月で帰っちゃいましたと、聞いていただけに、もうびっくりで、初めて間近で見る野生のクジラに大感動の一家三人衆なのでした。あと、キャプテンは、時々、私達に気を遣ってくれて日本語を言うのですが、どうやら、クジラのことをゴジラと勘違いして覚えたらしく、しきりにクジラを指差し、ゴジラ!ゴジラ!と…何がゴジラなんだろうと?それが理解出来た時は、こちらも笑っちゃいました。今回、初ハワイ島で、海は透明度抜群で、たくさんのトロピカルフィッシュたちと泳ぎ、飽きることなくいつまでもそこにいたい感じで時の経つのも忘れてしまうほど、夢中になってずっと海中散策してしまい、水中温度は、浅瀬は高く、深い所は低いけど、吸い込まれそうな海の碧さにも感動しっぱなしでした。ランチのサンドイッチもとても美味しくてパインもその場でキャプテンがパインボードにしてくれ、良く冷えててサイコーでした!ボートは、スピードもあって急旋回してスリル満点!子供も大喜びで、来年からは、ハワイ島に来ます‼‼

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>

One of the few tours that truly moves you. 感動を与えてくれる数少ないツアー

Reviewed by: 冒険心を忘れぬ定年夫婦

A 64-year-old man who is not good at swimming or English, along with his wife who is even less skilled in both, signed up for this tour because of the possibility of seeing dolphins swimming naturally up close.

On the day of the tour, when we arrived at the meeting place, there were four of us Japanese: a young couple and us. The rest were four pairs of older couples from the mainland United States, along with two guides, making a total of 14 people. The rubber boat was fully booked.

As we set off, we soon encountered a turtle swimming leisurely in the bay. Once we reached the open sea, the two 150-horsepower engines easily sped the light rubber boat up to 20 knots (about 37 km/h). I thought it was strange that the tour was named "rafting" even though it wasn't a white-water rafting experience, but feeling the wind and splashes of waves all over my body was refreshing. I truly felt that Americans are good at finding dynamic activities.

After about 20 minutes, we spotted them: a "pod of dolphins." Just like on TV, they started to swim alongside us. After watching for a while, they performed two aerial jumps with twists. I felt like they were playing with us, and I was very satisfied.

When we arrived at Captain Cook's Cove, we were given life jackets and cylindrical floaties since neither of us could swim. At first, I was just floating leisurely and looking at the surface of the sea when suddenly I saw a beautiful coral reef. Upon closer inspection, I noticed real, colorful tropical fish swimming around the reef. I became engrossed in observing the tropical fish and found an angelfish.

I had many opportunities to see coral reefs on submarine tours before, but I had never seen such colorful coral reefs and tropical fish. Later, I found out that the Big Island of Hawaii is a young island, so the scale of the coral reefs is small, which contributes to its world-renowned clarity.

Lastly, a word of caution: be sure to bring a hat that can be secured with a string. A baseball cap can be blown away, resulting in sunburn on your head.

泳ぐのも、英語も不得意な64歳の男と、さらにどちらも不得意な妻が、このツアーを申し込んだのは、自然に泳ぐイルカを間近で見れる可能性があるからでした。
当日、集合場所に行くと日本人は若夫婦と私達の計4名、他はアメリカ本土から来た4組の熟年カップル。そして、ガイド役の2人で計14名。これでゴムボートは満席になりました。
出発すると、まもなく湾の中をゆったり泳ぐ亀に出会いました。外海にでると、150馬力2機のエンジンで、軽いゴムボートを簡単に20ノット(約37km/h)までスピードアップします。
ツアー名で「ラフティング」の文字があり急流下りでもないのに、変だなと思っていましたが、体全体で受ける風と波しぶきを浴びると、これだけで爽快感を感じ、アメリカ人はダイナミックな遊びを見つけるのが旨いことをつくづく感じました。
20分程すると、見えました。「イルカの群れ」です。テレビで見たように、追走してくれました。暫く見てると、空中ジャンプ2回捻りを繰り返しやってくれました。遊んでくれていると感じることができ、大満足でした。
キャプテン・クック岬につき、泳げない私達二人にはライフジャケットと円柱状の浮き輪を渡されました。
最初、適当にのんびりプカリと浮きながら海面を見ていたら、突然綺麗なサンゴ礁が見え、よく見ると、本物の色とりどりの熱帯魚がサンゴ礁の周りを泳いでいるのが見えました。夢中になり熱帯魚観察をしているエンゼルフィッシュを見つけました。
潜水艦ツアーなどでサンゴ礁を見る機会がいままで何回もありましたが、これ程カラフルなサンゴ礁と熱帯魚を見たことがありませんでした。
後で、調べてみると、ハワイ島は若い島なので、サンゴ礁の規模が小さく、これが逆に世界的に有数な透明度を誇っているとのことで納得しました。
最後に注意事項ですが、帽子は紐で止めることが出来るものを持参すべし。野球帽では飛ばされてしまい、結果、頭の上が日焼けすることになります。
以上

My first close encounter with a dolphin. 人生初のイルカ接近

Reviewed by: tamura

If you want to see dolphins, Hawaii Island is the place to be! That's why I joined this tour. Actually, I couldn't get a reservation for another tour, so I chose this one, and it might be the best on Hawaii Island, just as the reviews said. I think the facilities and attentiveness were very suitable for Japanese people. Both our guide Leo and Captain Ichiro were friendly and made us feel very secure on the water. We encountered more dolphins than I had expected. It seems that the experience can vary depending on the day's conditions, but I felt like we had ample time. Also, since I got sunburned from kayaking the day before, they recommended some aloe gel from ABC on the way back. I really appreciated their help. I can confidently recommend this tour!

イルカを見るなら大自然のハワイ島だ!ということでこのツアーに参加しました。
実は、他のツアーで予約が取れずこのツアーにしたのですが、
口コミどおり、ハワイ島で一番いいかもしれません。
設備・気遣いともに日本人向きのイルカツアーだったと思います。
ガイドのレオさん・キャプテンのイチローさんともに気さくに接していただき、海の上では非常に頼もしかったです。イルカたちにも期待していた以上に出会うことができました。
その日の状況にもよるようですが、時間も多めにとって頂いた印象です。
また、前日のシーカヤックで日焼けをしすぎた私には、帰りにABCでお勧めのアロエジェルを紹介していただきました。その節は、大変お世話になりました。
このツアー自信を持ってお勧め出来ます。

It became the best memory. 最高の思い出になりました

I never imagined I would be able to see wild dolphins up close like that. My husband, who was initially not very enthusiastic, ended up being very satisfied. It was amazing to see so many dolphins swimming happily in the clear blue sea! Daisuke and the captains' deep love for the dolphins really came through, and it made us happy too. This became our best memory of the Big Island. Thank you very much!!

野生のイルカがあんなに近くで見られるなんて想像もしていませんでした。最初はなかなか乗り気じゃなかった旦那も大変満足していました。透明のブルーの海で仲良く泳ぐイルカたちがたくさん見られて最高です!ダイスケさん、キャプテンたちのイルカへの深い愛が伝わってきて、こちらまで幸せになりました。ハワイ島一番の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました!!

Thank you for your prompt comment. I'm glad to hear that even your husband, who wasn't very enthusiastic at first, was satisfied. I hope it becomes a wonderful memory for both of you. Please do come back to the Big Island again. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.

早速コメントを頂戴して有難うございます。あまり乗り気でなかったというご主人さんもご満足頂けた様で何よりです。お二人のいい思い出になって頂ければと思います。是非、又ハワイ島に遊びにいらして下さいね。スタッフ一同お待ちしております。

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

I appreciate the spirit. 心意気が嬉しい

Reviewed by: 北の縄文人

The weather on this day was not great, and the visitor center was shrouded in clouds. I felt a bit anxious as everything was completely white, but thanks to my wife's handmade teru teru bozu, perhaps? The summit was beautifully clear! There were clouds at high altitudes, so we were able to witness an emotional sunset with a sea of clouds nearby.

The very enjoyable guide eased my worries about whether we would be able to observe the starry sky. What moved me unexpectedly was the conversation among the guides. Since the weather was bad that day, they were discussing how to provide information to ensure that the people on the tour at the mid-mountain could observe the starry sky in the best possible way. I was touched by the words, "We absolutely cannot afford to fail." Although the bad weather was not the guides' responsibility, many visitors to the Big Island may only come once in a lifetime. I was happy to feel that they were sincerely considering the unspoken hopes of the tourists and were searching for points where we could definitely see the stars.

Even though they must have seen this scenery many times, their excitement and emotional reactions were beyond that of the tourists, which helped to loosen and release my own heart, which often struggles to express emotions in daily life. Their spirit of genuinely wanting to create enjoyable memories and the guides' heartfelt enjoyment and excitement allowed us to truly feel and enjoy the experience as well.

The stunning starry sky could be captured by digital cameras, and if you ask the guide, they will adjust the settings for you. My camera couldn't take pictures of the starry sky, but the guide chose the best spots for photography that day. The photos taken can be downloaded for free, which is very appreciated. If you wish, they can also take a picture of your zodiac sign. With so many stars, it can be difficult to find it on your own, but with a professional's skill, it's perfect!

On the way back, we stopped at the visitor center for a restroom break, and it was completely clear, allowing us to see another magnificent starry sky.

The miso soup was delicious, and if I ever have the chance to visit the Big Island again, I would like to participate in a tour with Masashi Nature School.

この日は天候がいまひとつで、ビジターセンターは雲の中。
どこまで行っても真っ白で不安もありましたが、奥さんお手製のテルテル坊主の御蔭か?
山頂は見事な晴れ!高い位置まで雲があったので、雲海も近く感動的なサンセットが見られました。

とても楽しいガイドに、星空観測できるのだろうか?という不安を消し飛ばしてくれます。なにげに感動したのは、ガイドさんどうしの会話です。
この日は天候が悪かったので、中腹で星空をみるツアーの人達もベストな形で星空観測できる様、情報提供しながら話し合っている様子。そこでの「絶対に失敗は許されないから~」という言葉。
悪天気はガイドさん達の責任ではないものの、一生に一度しか来られないであろう人が多いハワイ島。その声に出さない観光客の思いをしっかり受けて、確実に星空が見られるポイントを探してくれている気持ちが、嬉しかったです。

何度も見ているであろうこの景色も、観光客以上のテンションで感動する姿は、日常生活で固まって上手く感動を表現できない心をほぐし、解き放つきっかけとなりました。
本当に楽しい思いで作りをサポートしようという心意気と、心から自分も感動し楽しんでいるガイドさんの心を受け、私達も心から感動し楽しむ事が出来ました。

感動的な星空は、カメラによってデジカメでも写せるものがあり、ガイドさんにお願いすると調整してくれます。
私のカメラは星空の写真は撮れませんでしたが、ガイドさんがその日の最高の場所を選んで撮影してくれます。撮って頂いた写真は無料でダウンロードできるのでとても有り難いです。
希望すると自分の星座も撮ってくれます。あまりの☆の多さに自分ではうまく探す事さえも困難ですが、プロの腕にかかればバッチリです♪

帰りのトイレ休憩で立ちよったビジターセンターもすっかり晴れ、ここでもまた見事な星空が見られました。

味噌汁もおいしかったし、万が一にもまたハワイ島を訪れるチャンスがあれば、マサシネイチャースクールのツアーに参加したいと思います。

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>

I was moved by everything! 全てに感動しました!

Reviewed by: HATO

This was our second time on the Big Island with my husband. Last time, it was winter, so it was a bit chilly, and we couldn't go into the ocean. This time, we wanted to fully enjoy the sea, so we participated in snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, known for its stunning clarity, which is not easily accessible by car.

There was no hotel shuttle, and we had to meet at Honokohau Marina, so I think those without a car should be cautious. We had rented a car for the entire day, so it wasn't an issue for us. The instructions and explanations were all in English, but we received a printed guide in Japanese, so that was not a problem either.

I was surprised by how fast the boat was as we departed, and along the way, we saw a pod of dolphins and a school of flying fish, which was an emotional experience to see up close. The explanations about the lava caves were all in English, so I couldn't understand them, but I was able to feel enough from the printed guide and what I could see.

Furthermore, at Kealakekua Bay, I was amazed by the clarity of the water and the size of the fish. Both my husband and I were captivated, watching the fish. After returning from snorkeling, there was actually a fish book on the boat, and we were excited to find the fish we had just seen up close, exclaiming, "There it is! I saw that!!!"

We also enjoyed lunch, which included sandwiches, drinks, snacks, and fruit, and eating on the boat was exceptionally delicious.

I was moved by everything! I would love to use this service again when we visit the Big Island.

今回旦那と二人で、ハワイ島二回目で、前回は季節が冬だったので肌寒く、海に入れませんでした。
その為今回は、海を満喫しようと思い、車ではなかなか行けず、感動する透明度と名高い、ケアラケクア湾シュノーケルに参加しました。
ホテルからの送迎がなく、ホノコハウ・マリーナ集合の為、車がない方は注意が必要かと思います。
私たちは終日レンタカーを借りていたので、問題なかったです。
また終始英語での注意事項・説明でしたが、日本語のプリントを頂いたので、そこも問題なかったです。
出発して思ってたより速いボートに驚きながらも途中イルカの群れや、トビウオの群れがいて、間近で見ることが出来て感動しました。
溶岩洞窟についての説明は全て英語だったので、理解できませんでしたが、頂いたプリントと目視で充分感じることができました。
更にケアラケクア湾では、海の透明度と魚の大きさに驚きました。
私も旦那も夢中になって、魚を観賞しました。
またシュノーケリングから戻った後も実際にボートに魚の本があり、先ほど間近で見た魚を見つけることが出来て「これいたね!これ見た見た!!!」と興奮。
ランチもサンドイッチとドリンクとスナックとフルーツを頂き、ボートの上で食べるのもまた格別に美味しかったです。

全てに感動しました!またハワイ島に行った際には利用したいです。

A must-try experience! 一度は体験すべし!

Reviewed by: Kato

I had a wonderful experience. Moreover, they mentioned a campaign where you can download photos from their website, so when I checked after returning home, I found stunning pictures of the starry sky. I couldn't have captured that with my own camera. I was really happy. The discussion about the stars was very informative and educational. Since the altitude is high, some people felt unwell, but I think it's a view everyone should see at least once in their lifetime!

とてもいい体験をしました。しかもHPから写真をDL出来るキャンペーンみたいなものをやっていると行っていたので帰ってから見てみたら、ばっちり星空が撮されていました。自分のデジカメでは無理ですからね。嬉しかったです。星の話はとても詳しく勉強になりました。標高が高いので体調が悪くなった方もみえましたが、人生で一度は見ておきたい景色だと思います!

Hawaii Forest & Trail - Bird Watching Tour at Hakalau National Wildlife Refuge

I truly enjoyed the birdwatching trip.

Reviewed by: Ms Williams

I truly enjoyed the birdwatching trip. Our guide, Mark, was fantastic -- he educated us on the birds we would hopefully see and was helpful with questions about other wildlife in the area. I also enjoyed meeting the rest of the group on the tour -- wish I would have thought to exchange contact information to get some of the photos one couple was taking during the trip.

Reviewed by: Nobu

My wife and I participated together. I had visited Oahu three times before, but it was my first time on the Big Island. The main purpose of my first trip to the Big Island was this tour of the "Mauna Kea Summit Sunset." I was worried about altitude sickness, but the guide explained how to avoid it while we were in the car, so there were no issues. However, I did get a bit out of breath when moving around at the summit, but the breathtaking starry sky, unlike anything I had ever seen before, made me forget my breathlessness. I was able to see the Milky Way and learned for the first time that starlight illuminates the ground. This is a tour I would love to join again if I have the opportunity to go to the Big Island.

 妻と2人で参加しました。これまでオアフ島は3度訪れたことはありましたが、ハワイ島は初めてです。初ハワイ島の最大の目的は、「マウナケア山頂サンセット」のこのツアーでした。高山病が不安でしたが、車内でガイドさんが高山病を回避する方法を説明してくれて問題ありませんでした。ただ、山頂で少し動くと息切れがしましたが、これまで見たこともない満天の星空は、息切れを忘れる程の美しさでした。天の川を見ることができ、星あかりが地上を照らすことを初めて知りました。ハワイ島に行く機会があれば再び参加したいツアーです。
