I recommend it! おすすめです!

Reviewed by: hiroshi

This time we went to the Big Island, and visiting Kilauea and Mauna Kea was a must. I looked into what else there was to do and found out that you can swim with dolphins, so I joined this tour, which had great reviews compared to others.

It turned out to be a fantastic choice! First of all, the guide was really nice and amazing! The quality of a tour is definitely important, but the guide makes a huge difference!

The tour itself was filled with dolphins, and I was truly moved. I was surprised to see so many dolphins up close!

Apparently, the types of dolphins on the Big Island are different from those on Oahu, and they swim in large groups, which is why you can see this incredible sight.

I highly recommend it if you visit the Big Island!!

今回はハワイ島ということで、キラウエアとマウナケアは必須、他にどんなものがあるのかと探してみてイルカと泳げるということがわかり、他のツアーと比較しても評判の良かったコチラに参加。
結果これが大正解!まずガイドさんが感じが良くて凄く良い!やっぱりツアーは内容はもちろん重要ですが、ガイドさんでほぼ決まりますね!

ツアー内容もそこら辺イルカだらけで感動しました。
こんなにたくさんのイルカが、こんなに近くで見られるとは驚きでした!

なんでもハワイ島はイルカの種類が他のオアフ島なんかとも違うため、大きな群れで泳ぐのでこの光景が見られるそう。

ハワイ島に行ったら是非おすすめです!!

Thank you for joining our tour. The dolphins in Hawaii are numerous and very friendly. We are also healed by the dolphins every day. Please come back to meet the dolphins in Hawaii again.

弊社のツアーにご参加頂きまして、ありがとうございます。
ハワイ島のイルカは数が多くとてもフレンドリーです。
私たちも毎日イルカに癒されております。

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 was moved by the view from the summit of Mauna Kea. マウナケア山頂の景色に感動

Reviewed by: つみちゃん

The sunset visible from the summit over 4,000 meters was truly beautiful. The stargazing afterward was even more stunning than I expected, and I'm glad I participated. However, the long ride in the 4WD was quite bumpy, so I was pretty tired that night.

4000メートル以上の山頂から見える夕日は 本当に美しかったです。その後の 星空観測も予想以上の美しさで、参加してよかったと 思います。只 長時間4WDで揺られて行きますので その夜は かなり疲れました。

Thank you for participating in our tour.
Mauna Kea is a unique mountain where you can drive up to an elevation of 4,205 meters. The view from there is completely different from the world below. I am always moved by it, no matter how many times I go.
Our guides pay close attention to driving carefully. We try to minimize the bumps by watching the road while driving.
However, those who are not used to it may feel tired from the shaking. I apologize for that.
Nevertheless, Mauna Kea is a place worth visiting multiple times, so we hope you will come again.
All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to your return.
Thank you.

この度は、弊社のツアーにご参加いただきまして、ありがとうございました。
マウナケア山は山頂4205mまで、車で上がれてしまうという、他にはない山になってます。
そこからの景色は下界とは全く異なるものです。私も何度行っても、感動します。
弊社のガイドは、車の運転には細心の注意を払っております。なるべく、車の揺れも少なくしようと道路を見ながら走っております。
それでも慣れていない方は揺れで疲れてしまうかもしれませんね。申し訳ありませんでした。
ですが、マウナケアは何度も登る価値のある場所ですから、きっとまたお越しくださいませ。
スタッフ一同心よりお待ちしております。
ありがとうございました。

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー 滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く!<午前・午後/英語ガイド/食事付>by フェアウィンド号

I participated in the morning snorkeling. シュノーケリング(午前)に参加しました

Reviewed by: エディ

I participated in the morning tour with my wife. The entire guide was in English, but we received a Japanese notice sheet during check-in at the reception, which I think is almost the same as the verbal instructions given when boarding. As someone who struggles with English, I understood less than half, but reading the notice in advance helped me grasp the general idea. Just watching the beautiful coral reefs and colorful fish made me feel happy. On the way there, we even saw dolphins playing in the waves created by the boat. The food and drinks were more than enough to fill us up. There were many children present, so I believe people of all ages can enjoy this experience. There are also floaties available.

It seemed that most of the participants were travelers from the mainland United States, but there were a few other Japanese participants as well. However, I got the impression that the staff didn't engage much with the Japanese participants. Of course, it wasn't neglect; it might be due to the language barrier, leading to the impression that Japanese people are "hard to engage with." The staff properly offered equipment rentals and food and drink guidance, so it was reassuring, and I think it's perfectly fine to ask questions in broken English if you're unsure about something.

午前中のツアーに妻と参加しました。
すべて英語での案内ですが、受付でのチェックインの際に日本語の注意事項の用紙を渡されますので、乗船の際の口頭での内容とほぼ同じかと思います。英語が苦手な私は理解できたのは半分以下ですが事前に注意事項を読んでおけばなんとなく理解できます。綺麗なサンゴ礁にカラフルな魚を眺めているだけで幸せな気分でした。行きには船が作る並で遊ぶイルカも登場。食事や飲み物も充分お腹いっぱいになります。お子様もたくさんいらっしゃいましたし、老若男女が楽しめると思います。浮き輪もあります。
米国本土からの旅行者がほとんどのようでしたが、日本人参加者は他に数組いらっしゃいました。しかし、スタッフがあまり日本人に絡んでこない印象も。もちろん、放置ということでなくて、おそらく言葉の問題から日本人は「絡みにくい」という経験からの印象なのかもしれないですね。用具の貸し出しや飲食の案内などちゃんと声をかけてくれますので安心ですし、分からないことは遠慮なくカタコトで声をかければいいと思います。

After searching online for family-friendly activities on the Big Island, I decided to go with Aloha Kona Tours, which had great reviews. My son (7 years old) and daughter (9 years old) joined me, and the staff was always attentive. The kids were able to see a pod of dolphins right in front of them while holding onto floating rings.

Although they took breaks due to seasickness, the staff continued to check on them, which made the kids very happy. It was also great that all the staff were Japanese, allowing us to snorkel without any stress. I never imagined I would see so many dolphins jumping and spinning right in front of me; it was incredibly soothing.

They were punctual and very efficient. A waterproof camera is a must. I highly recommend participating as a family. Our summer vacation diary was filled with dolphins.

I definitely want to be a repeat customer. Thank you for everything!

久々のハワイ島で何か家族で楽しめるのものはないかとネットで検索したところ、評価の高かったこちらのAloha Kona Toursさんにお世話になることにしました。
私と息子(7歳)娘(9歳)での参加でしたが、スタッフの方が常に気を配ってくれ、子供たちは棒状の浮き輪につかまりながらイルカの群れをすぐ目の前で見ることができました。
途中、船酔いで休んだりしてましたが、その間もずっと声をかけていただき子供たちもすごく喜んでいました。
スタッフ全員日本人ということもあり、何のストレスもなくシュノーケリングができたことも良かったと思います。
回転しながらジャンプするイルカを何頭も、目の前で見れるなんて想像もしなかったですしすごく癒されました。

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

Wonderful, Mauna Kea tour. 素晴らしい、マウナケアツアー。

Reviewed by: yoshio

We participated as a couple on August 21, 2012. Our guide was Shigeru Yamamoto, who provided clear explanations with helpful examples. The highlight was undoubtedly the sunset at the summit, along with the constellation explanations and telescope viewing. Watching the refreshing sunset while wearing a down jacket to keep warm was a heartwarming experience. One should not speak of Mauna Kea without witnessing this. The stars spread across the sky were breathtaking. The precise stars and constellations pointed out with a laser pointer, along with the clear explanations, were fantastic. We also got to see Saturn's rings through the telescope that was set up. Shigeru Yamamoto took great group photos of all participants against the backdrop of the starry sky, as well as individual photos, which were later available for free download online, making for a wonderful keepsake. This is the most highly recommended tour.

2012.8.21に夫婦で参加しました。ガイドは山本茂さんで、丁寧で例えを用いたわかりやすい解説をしてくれました。何と言っても素晴らしいのが、?山頂でのサンセット、?星座解説&天体望遠鏡でした。?寒さ防ぐダウンジャケットを着て見る清々しいサンセットは心洗う感動でした。?これを見ずしてマウナケアをかたるべし。満天に広がる星。レイザーポインターで示す的確な星や星座は、わかりやすい解説とともに最高でした。設置した天体望遠鏡で土星の輪っかも見せてもらいました。満天に広がる星々をバックにした参加者全員の集合写真と個々のまとまりの参加者写真を山本茂ガイドがいいデジカメで撮ってくれて、後にウェブ上から無料ダウンロードできたのも良い記念になりました。最もイチオシのツアーです。

It was a beautiful sunset. 夕日の美しい日でした

Reviewed by: ラケル

The day I attended, the sunset was particularly beautiful, and everyone participating was taking commemorative photos with the sunset in the background. The luau show was a bit more compact than I had expected, but it was truly a wonderful show, showcasing the performers' dedication. The meal also featured plenty of traditional Hawaiian dishes, which I was very satisfied with.

参加した日は夕日が特に美しく、参加していた方々みなが夕日をバックに記念撮影をされていました。予想していたより少しコンパクトなルアウショーでしたが、さすが身体を張って働いているだけあって、すばらしいショーでした。

The sunset was beautiful. サンセットはきれいでした。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated last September.
The weather looked ominous around Saddle Road, and I was worried, but the sunset at the summit was truly beautiful. The sun sank into the sea of clouds in an instant, and I wished I could have watched it a little longer.
During the stargazing afterward, there was unexpected rain... Still, I was moved when I briefly saw the Milky Way and the stars. Unfortunately, the rain didn't stop, so the stargazing was disappointing.
I definitely want to go back to the Big Island to see the beautiful starry sky again.

昨年9月に参加しました。
サドルロードあたりから、雲行きがあやしくお天気が心配でしたが、山頂に着いてからのサンセットは本当にきれいでした。夕日が雲海に沈んでいくのはあっという間で、もう少し長く眺めていたかったです。
その後の星空観測のときには、まさかの雨・・・。それでも、一瞬天の川や星が見えた時には感動しました。でもなかなか雨はやまずに星空観測は残念でした。
もう一度、きれいな星空を見るために必ずハワイ島に行きたいです。

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

Would do again in a hearbeat!

Reviewed by: Liz G.

My granddaughter (14 yrs old) and I did this kayak snorkeling trip last month (July 27, 2012) and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! We had never kayaked before but had snorkled quite a few times over on Oahu. Our group of 11 included both experienced and novice kayakers. The guides (especially Brent) were helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and especially patient with us newbies. Water visibility was fantastic. We saw an abundance of different fish when we stopped to snorkel and were lucky enough to have a pod of dolphins come within 15 feet of us. That alone made the experience memorable. Water bottles were provided on the kayaks and when we stopped we snacked on drinks, chips and fresh delicious pineapple. I would strongly recommend wearing water shoes/sandals in order to be able to easily climb up to the lava cliff to make the jump. Would I do this snorkeling trip again? In a heartbeat!!!

I was moved by the wonderful starry sky. 素晴らしい星空に感動。

Reviewed by: せんちょ☆

Since it was summer, we were picked up at the hotel at 3:30 PM. We visited about five hotels in total.

On the way up Mauna Kea, we took breaks and took photos on the volcanic plateau while being jostled in the car, arriving at the Onizuka Center in an hour and a half.

There, we enjoyed a Japanese bento box, and I was impressed that it came with miso soup.

After that, we put on warm clothes, hats, and made our way to the summit. At the top, we received detailed explanations at the observation deck, took sunset photos, and had various commemorative pictures taken with a sign at the summit of Mauna Kea.

Afterward, we did some stargazing in a spot with little wind. The explanations were easy to understand, and we were able to take photos, creating unforgettable memories. Thank you very much.

I think those who participated in the Masashi Nature School (where staff took photos that can be viewed later) were quite lucky. I highly recommend it. I would like to use this service again the next time I visit the Big Island.

夏ということもあり、15:30にホテルへピックアップ。全部で5つほどのホテルを回りました。
マウナケアに登っている途中も、途中休憩をとったりしながら火山台地で写真を撮りつつ車に揺られ、1時間半でオニヅカセンターへ。

そこで日本食のお弁当をいただきました。お味噌汁つきで感動しました。

その後、温かい服を上下、帽子と身に着け、頂上へ。
頂上では、展望台の詳しい説明とともに、サンセットの写真、そしてマウナケア山頂のテロップを持って、記念写真などいろいろ写真をとっていただけました。

その後、少し下った風があまりない場所での天体観測。
わかりやすい説明、そして写真を撮っていただけ、一生モノの思い出ができました。ありがとうございました。

マサシネイチャースクールに参加された方(スタッフが撮った写真があとで見れるなど)はかなりラッキーだと思います。おすすめです。また次回ハワイ島に来た際は利用したいです。

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>

Traditional Hawaiian Luau! 伝統的なハワイアンルアウ!

Reviewed by: やまちゃん&ゆみちゃん

This was our fourth trip to Hawaii as a couple, and it was our first time on the Big Island. I was really looking forward to seeing an authentic outdoor luau show for the first time as well. Overall, it was excellent.

I had checked reviews beforehand about the need to "line up before entering the venue," so after checking into our hotel (it was the night of our arrival, and we were staying at the King Kamehameha), we took care of the process right away. They gave us a paper with the reception time, but even though we arrived about 30 minutes early, there was quite a line! Most of the audience were Westerners, with only about 20% being Japanese. Normally, it seems that Japanese guests are seated together, which allows for taking photos and chatting, but we were seated at a table with only Westerners, with no Japanese guests at all...

We were seated at one of the end seats in the front row facing the stage, which was very calming. We could see the ocean and the Ahuena Heiau in the background, and we had a great view of the dancers' entrance scenes, which made us very satisfied.

I wanted to experience the traditional imu ceremony at least once, and it was good, but after experiencing it once, I think I'm okay with it... (The smell was quite strong since they steam the pig at high temperatures.)

The food was traditional and served buffet-style, so we could enjoy a variety of dishes. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, which was nice, but since our table was at the front, it was quite a trek to get to the drink station.

They also showcased dances from neighboring islands, which was great. As a fellow hula dancer, I was able to observe from various angles, and it was a good learning experience.

Unfortunately, it started to rain heavily during the show, and it ended quite a bit earlier than scheduled, which was a bit disappointing.

Overall, I was a bit anxious about not having any Japanese guests around, but we still had a great time, so it was very good.

夫婦でのハワイ旅行は、4度目にして、初めてのハワイ島でした。
また、屋外での、本格的なルアウショーを観るのも初めてでしたので、とても楽しみにしていました。
結果としては、◎でした。

「会場に入るまで並ぶ」というのを事前にクチコミでチェックしていたので、ホテルチェックイン後(到着日の夜だったのと、ちょうど宿泊先がキングカメハメハだったので)すぐに、手続きをしました。
受付時間を書いた紙をその場でくれたのですが、それでも、少し早めの30分前位に会場へ行ったにも関わらず、結構並んでいました!!
観覧客はほとんどが欧米人で、日本人は2割位だったかと思います。
また、通常は、日本人は日本人同士でテーブルセッティングしてくださるみたいですが(写真を撮り合ったり、お話したりできるから)、私達夫婦は、日本人がひとりもいない、欧米人のみのテーブルへ通されました・・・

ステージ側の前の方の、一番端の席だったため、とても落ち着き、バックには海とアフエナヘイアウ、ダンサーたちの登場シーンもよく見ることができ、とても満足でした。

伝統的なイムセレモニーは、一度は経験したかったので、よかったですが、一度経験すれば、もういいかな。。。
(豚さんを高温で蒸し焼きするので、匂いがかなりきつかったのです)

お食事は伝統的なもので、ビュッフェ式でしたので、いろいろ楽しめました。
ドリンクも飲み放題で、こちらもよかったのですが、テーブルが前の方だったので、その分、ドリンクの所へたどり着くまでが、とても遠かったです。

ハワイだけでなく、近隣の島々の踊りも織り交ぜながら、披露してくださいます。
同じフラダンサーとしては、いろいろな角度から、観させていただき、よい勉強になりました。

途中で雨がたくさん降ってきてしまい、時間よりもかなり早く終わってしまい、それが少し残念でした。

全体的には、日本人が周りにいなくて不安はありましたが(^^ゞ
それでも楽しめたので、とてもよかったです。

Big Island Lei Greeting Service at Kona Airport - Hawaiian Floral Necklace

There is a first for everything...

I very much enjoyed the unique oppurunity to be greeted in Hawaii by a Hawaiian native. The lei greeting was fantastic, albeit, I was not expecting to have to walk through the whole terminal to find the greeter. I still highly recommend this for any first timer, honeymooners and if you're in a group. This is an excellent way to start a vacation and you can create memories right off the start. The lei was very beautiful and the scent was heavenly, my only wish was that I had received instruction on how to maintain the lei so that it would not fall apart and then wither.

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>

It was certainly amazing. 確かに凄かった

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

As rumored, the power of seeing a manta up close was incredible.

One thing to note is to not forget your motion sickness medication. You might get seasick.

One point of concern is that for the first 30 minutes or so, you cruise around the bay before starting to prepare to see the mantas. It's unclear whether you're waiting in line because of many competing companies or for some other reason, but cruising around the bay at sunset was not interesting at all...

噂どおり、間近で見るマンタの迫力は凄い迫力でした。

注意点としては、酔い止めを忘れない事。
多分船酔いします。

気になった点として、最初の30分ぐらいは湾内を船で周回(クルーズ?)してからマンタを見る準備をはじめます。
競合他社が多い為に順番待ちをしているのか、何なのか不明ですが、陽が沈んだ湾内をクルーズしても何も面白くありませんでした…。

Thank you for participating in the night snorkeling with manta rays. We are delighted to hear that you were able to see wild mantas up close.

Regarding your feedback about the first 30 minutes of the cruise, we confirmed with the operating company that this time is typically used for explanations and changing clothes. Additionally, when anchoring the boat in the sea, we take into account the sea conditions and the state of the coral reefs, so please understand that it may take a bit longer depending on the day's circumstances.

We look forward to serving you again.

この度は、マンタと泳ぐナイト・シュノーケリングにご参加いただき有難うございます。

なお、ご指摘いただいておりますクルーズ最初の30分間につきましては、催行会社に確認をとったところ、最初の30分間は通常説明を行ったり着替える時間となっているとのことでした。また海で船を停泊する際に、海の状況やサンゴ礁の状態を考慮しながら対応しておりますので、その日の状況により多少時間がかかってしまう場合もありますことご了承ください。

I heard that you can swim with dolphins, but I was not expecting to be able to swim so close to them, which was truly moving.

I think the small number of participants is also an appeal of this tour. If you're lucky, you might even swim with manta rays. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any manta rays, but we were completely satisfied with just the dolphins.

For those meeting on-site, the meeting location is a bit hard to find, so it's important to confirm it.

イルカと泳げると聞いてましたが、こんなに近くで泳げると思ってませんでしたので感動しました。

参加人数が少ないのも、こちらのツアーの魅力だと思います。運が良ければマンタとも泳げるそうです。私達は残念ながらマンタに会えませんでしたが、イルカだけで大満足でした。

Starry Sky Observation Tour I Joined Despite Worrying About the Cold

The constellations were so visible that I felt as if I were in outer space, and I was filled with childlike excitement. Especially, the Milky Way, which is not so clearly visible in Japan, made me feel romantic as I thought about how the stars Hikoboshi and Orihime could cross over. The moon looked like a crayon that I could almost touch, and there were countless stars to count. Each constellation observation was enjoyable thanks to the staff's easy-to-understand explanations, which made me forget about the cold. Next time I go, I will visit to see the seasonal constellations that I missed this time. Thank you for the wonderful time!

There were other dolphin tours available, but the limited number of participants was a deciding factor for me. The staff were very accommodating, which made me feel secure participating in the tour. There was one child who joined with their mother, and I appreciated how well the staff interacted with the child.

I was able to see many dolphins up close (the staff were shouting from the boat, directing us to look this way and that. It's surprising how you might miss them even when you're right next to them), and it was a very enjoyable tour. I will definitely participate again when I visit the Big Island.

The staff seemed to almost forget to collect the fees from the participants on the day, so that might be why there were no snacks provided. However, we did receive juice. Well, that's not something I was primarily expecting, so it wasn't a problem at all, but I wanted to mention it for future reference.

I had a great time. Thank you very much.

他にもイルカのツアーはありましたが、定員の数が少ないというのも決め手でした。スタッフのみなさんの対応も大変よくて安心してツアーに参加できました。ひとり、お子さんがお母さんと参加していましたが、そのお子さんに対するスタッフさんの対応も気持ちがよくて私は好きでした。

たくさんのイルカを間近でみることができ(スタッフさんも海の中、船の上からこっち、あっち~と叫んでくださいます。そばにいても意外と気づかなかったりするものなんですね)とても楽しいツアーでした。ハワイ島に行ったらまたぜひ参加します。

当日参加の方の代金の回収すら忘れちゃいそうになってるスタッフさんだったのでその延長かもしれませんが、スナックはありませんでしたね。ジュースはいただきましたけれど。まあ、そこはメインで期待している部分ではないので全然問題ないですが一応記載事項でしたので今後のためにも書いておきます。

This was the highlight of my stay on the Big Island. The staff were professional and knowledgeable about the stars, and I learned a lot. We joined another similar tour along the way, and from what I saw, the lunch here seemed to have better contents. It was also great that they didn't use disposable containers, making it eco-friendly. The stargazing was done in a unique location just for this tour, and I was able to see Saturn's rings through the telescope. I was thrilled that the staff even took a photo of Saturn for us. The guide mentioned that this tour had the latest return time, and they really took their time with us, making it worth participating. I highly recommend it!

今回のハワイ島滞在で一番のハイライトでした。スタッフの方々がプロフェッショナルで星空のことをよくご存じで、沢山学ぶことができました。同じようなツアーと途中で一緒になりましたが、ちらっと見たところでは、お弁当はこちらのほうが中身がよかったように思います。使い捨て容器でないところもエコでよかったです。星空観測は、このツアーだけの場所でゆったりとすることができ、天体望遠鏡で土星の輪も見えました。スタッフの方が土星の写真も撮ってくださって感激です。帰る時間はこのツアーが一番遅いんだよとガイドさんがおっしゃってましたが、本当にじっくり時間をとってくださって、参加した甲斐がありました。お勧めです!

Hawaii Eco Tour - Mauna Kea Summit

We had a wonderful guide/driver. She really gave us a lot of information on the way up and at the site. It was nice to not drive or worry about packing warm weather gear. Well worth the money. And the meal was very good and filling.

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>

Close to the sea! 海を間近に!

Reviewed by: kenchan

It was a lot of fun to enjoy multiple activities on one optional tour. We had plenty of time for banana boating, dolphin watching, exploring historical sites, and snorkeling among coral and many fish, which left us very satisfied. Although there were no whales in August, many dolphins came close to the boat, making it feel like we could touch them. There were quite a few baby dolphins as well. We were the only Japanese people there, but there was a staff member named GEN who understood a bit of Japanese, so explanations about the caves were fine. Before departure, they provided us with a Japanese guidebook at the office, which helped us understand even though we aren't very good at English. It was surprising that even those who couldn't swim were able to snorkel with the staff's guidance. On the way out, we relaxed in the back seats of the boat, but on the return trip, for some reason, we ended up in the very front, speeding over the waves, which caused a lot of jolting and a roller coaster-like up-and-down motion that was tough on the back. My arms were exhausted from gripping the rope tightly. Everyone was cheering and having a great time. I had muscle soreness for a couple of days, but I want to go again to see the beautiful sea.

一つのオプショナルツアーで複数のアクティビティを満喫できるとてもたのしいものでした。バナナボート的、イルカウォッチング、旧跡めぐり的、珊瑚や多くの魚がいる素潜りなどそれぞれがたっぷりと時間とってくれて大満足でした。8月で鯨はいませんでしたが触れそうな感じにボートにたくさんのイルカが寄ってきます。赤ん坊連れのイルカもかなりいました。日本人は私たち夫婦だけでしたが、日本語が少し分かるスタッフGENちゃんがいたので洞窟等の説明も大丈夫でした。出発前に日本語の解説書をオフィスでくれましたので英語の得意でない私たちでも理解できました。泳げない人でもスタッフの指導でシュノーケリングできるようになったのはびっくりでした。ボートも行きは後ろの席でのんびりと、帰りは何故か一番前になって波の上を高速で行くもんだからガンガンと衝撃がキツいのとジェットコースターみたいな大きな上下動で腰にきます。腕もロープを必死でにぎるのでヘロヘロになった。みんなで声を出して大はしゃぎでした。二・三日筋肉痛でしたがまた行きたい、綺麗な海を見に。

It was fun! 楽しかった♪

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was able to see dolphins jumping nearby many times.
I also enjoyed snorkeling.
The guide knows some basic Japanese words, so there is no danger, but the announcements are in fluent English at a normal speed.

すぐ近くでジャンプするイルカに何度も会えました。
シュノーケルも楽しみました。
ガイドが日本語の単語は知っている(最低限)ので危険はありませんが、アナウンスは普通のスピードの流ちょうな英語です。

マウナケア山頂 サンセット&星空観測ツアー <午後/天体望遠鏡/夕食付/英語ガイド> by ハワイフォレスト&トレイル

Shooting stars are flowing everywhere. 流れ星流れまくり

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I don't think you can see so many stars anywhere else in Japan. It was really cold, but both the sunset and the starry sky were incredibly beautiful.

Since I'm not very knowledgeable about stars, I think I only understood about half of the explanations in English. I couldn't book a Japanese tour, so I went with this one, but I wish I had studied a bit before going.

日本であんなに星がいっぱいみれることはないと思います。
すごく寒かったけど、サンセットも星空もすごくきれいでした。

星に詳しくないのもあり、英語での説明は半分ぐらいしか理解できてないと思います。
日本語のツアーが取れなかったので、こちらにしたのですが、行く前に少しは勉強していけばよかったと思うぐらいです。

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー 滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く!<午前・午後/英語ガイド/食事付>by フェアウィンド号

snorkeling experience シュノーケリング体験

Reviewed by: miya

Hello, this is Miya.
On June 30th, I went on a snorkeling cruise to Kealakekua Bay on the Big Island (with breakfast and lunch included).
Five years ago, I went on an evening plan, so this was my second experience as I wanted to see the beautiful sea in the morning.
On the Fair Wind, I enjoyed a tour of the Big Island where Japanese was not spoken.
The weather was cloudy, but it was great because I could see well underwater without getting sunburned.
I particularly enjoyed the colorful tropical fish that gather in the shallow waters, and it was a great experience for families who are not strong swimmers, from a 4-year-old child to a 65-year-old lady.
Especially, the free rental of bodyboards to peek underwater was very popular.
The slide extending from the second floor feels high at first, but elementary school students can enjoy it without any problems.
I hesitated a bit at the diving board, but next time I want to dive in headfirst.
For meals, breakfast included bread and fruit, and for lunch, we had BBQ hamburgers cooked on the boat.
The hamburgers eaten in the beautiful sea were incredibly delicious.

こんにちは。miyaです。
6月30日に、ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾へのシュノーケルクルーズ(朝食・昼食付き) に行ってきました。
5年前に行った時は、夕方のプランだったので、午前中の綺麗な海を見たく、2度目の体験です。
フェアウィンド号では、日本語が通じないというハワイ島のツアーを満喫出来ました。
天気は曇りでしたが、日焼けをしない中でも、水中は良く見えて良かったです。
特に浅瀬に集まる熱帯特有の色とりどりの魚を楽しむ事もでき、泳ぎが得意ではないファミリーや、4歳の子どもから、65歳のおばさんまで満喫出来ました。
特に、水中を覗けるボディーボードを無料でレンタル出来て好評でした。
2階席からのびている滑り台は、最初高さを感じますが、小学生ならば問題なく楽しめます。
飛び込み台は、少し躊躇してしまいますが、次回は頭から綺麗に飛び込みたいです。
食事は、朝食は、パンとフルーツ、昼食は、船の上で焼いたBBQは、ハンバーガーとして食べました。
綺麗な海で食べるハンバーガーは大変おいしかったです。
