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

The cruise was amazing! クルーズ最高!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

On this tour, you can enjoy activities like cruising, snorkeling, and diving. During the cruise, you can see dolphins, and while snorkeling, you can spot many fish. After all the fun, what really made me happy was the fruits like pineapples and oranges! The staff had a lot of chilled fruits ready and served them to everyone. The staff's response was wonderful, and everyone had lovely smiles. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate in this tour once more. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

このツアーでは、クルーズやシュノーケリング、飛び込みなどを楽しむことができます。クルーズでは、イルカが見られたり、シュノーケリングではたくさんの魚を見ることができます。たくさん遊んで、疲れた身体に嬉しかったのがパイナップルやオレンジなどのフルーツですです!スタッフがたくさんのフルーツを冷やしておいてくれて、みんなにふるまってくれました。スタッフの対応もみんな笑顔が素敵で、またハワイに行く機会があれば参加したいと思います。
楽しい思い出を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 did a lot of diving. たくさん飛び込みしました

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

After enjoying the cruise, you can go snorkeling in the cove, where part of the boat becomes a slide and diving platform. I had a great time diving in a free style that you can't do in pools in Japan, spinning in the beautiful sea and jumping in with friends. While doing various jumps, I also got to know other guests and staff on the boat, which made it even more fun. You might find snorkeling and cruise experiences elsewhere, but I highly recommend this option where you can dive wholeheartedly into the beautiful sea!!!

クルーズを堪能した後に、入江でシュノーケルができるのですが、船の一部が滑り台や飛び込み台になります。きれいな海に回転をしたり、友達と一緒に飛び込んだり日本のプールではできないような自由なスタイルで飛び込みを楽しみました。いろんな、ジャンプをしていたら一緒に船に乗っていた他のお客さんやスタッフの人とも仲良くなれてとても楽しかったです。シュノーケル体験やクルーズ体験は他でもできるかもしれませんが、きれいに海に向かって思いっきり飛び込めるこのオプションはおすすめです!!!

I was able to see dolphins! イルカが見れました!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

During the cruise, I was able to see dolphins! While sunbathing on the deck, I heard some commotion, so I peeked outside the boat and saw 2 to 3 dolphins swimming alongside. It was my first time seeing wild dolphins, and it became a wonderful memory. Additionally, I had a great time snorkeling and seeing many fish. I would love to participate again.

クルーズの途中で、イルカを見ることができました!
船のデッキで日光浴していたら、ざわざわと声が聞こえたので船の外をのぞいてみると船の脇を2~3頭のイルカが一緒に泳いでいました。野生のイルカを初めてみたのでとてもよい思い出になりました。そのほかにもシュノーケルでもたくさんの魚を見れてとても楽しかったです。また、参加したいと思います。

Dolphin tour イルカツアー

Reviewed by: 小山です

This time, I participated in a tour with Mr. Nawata, the same one as the manta ray tour. The manta ray night snorkeling is highly recommended, but the dolphin tour was absolutely amazing as well.

The experience involves diving ahead of the swimming course several times to chase after the pod of dolphins. Although it's quite rare, we were able to swim and play with the dolphins. They swam around us, almost touching us, and even playfully splashed us (laughs). In the clear waters where you could see hundreds of meters ahead, we truly got to "play" with the dolphins. Mr. Nawata said, "If you can't be moved by this, then there's nothing more!" It was the best experience. Just watching the dolphins swimming deep in the ocean was so beautiful that it made my mind go completely blank and filled me with happiness.

On the way back, we were taken to a beautiful beach where the locals go, and Mr. Nawata even acted as our photographer, for which I am truly grateful. I also posted a review for the manta ray night snorkeling tour, so I hope you can refer to that as well.

今回、マンタのツアーと同じ縄田さんのツアーに参加させて頂きました。マンタのナイトシュノーケリングも最高におススメですが、イルカのツアーも最っっ高でした。
内容は泳いでるコースに先回りして何度かダイブしてイルカの群れを追う?感じになるそうです。が、かなり珍しいそうなんですが私たちはイルカと一緒に泳いだり、遊んでもらう事が出来ました。イルカが自分達の周りを触れるか触れないかのところでグルグル泳いでくれたり、ウンチ?を引っかけられたり(笑)と、何百メートルも先まで見えそうな海の中でイルカとまさに『遊ぶ』ことができました。縄田さんにも「これで感動できなかったら、これ以上ないよ(笑)」と最高の体験ができました。海の中でずーっと深い所で泳いでいるイルカを観られるだけでもあたまのなかが真っ白になるくらい美しくて幸せになれます。帰りには地元の人が行くきれいなビーチに連れて行ってもらい縄田さんにカメラマンをしていただいたりと本当に感謝でいっぱいです。マンタのナイトシュノーケリングツアーの方にもレビュー載せましたのでそちらも参考にして頂ければと思います

An experience beyond imagination. 想像を超えた体験

Reviewed by: 青森の二人

I want to swim with wild dolphins! I participated to fulfill a dream I've held for many years. That said, since they are wild dolphins, I honestly thought I would just be watching them from a distance. However, in reality, I was able to swim with many dolphins at a distance that felt almost within reach!! I also swam very close to a manta ray! Our nature guide, Mr. Nawata from Aloha Kona Tours, was very kind and attentive, allowing me to swim without any anxiety, even in the ocean for the first time abroad. In fact, seeing Mr. Nawata enjoying himself even more than the participants (in a good way) made us smile and completely forget our tension and worries. He was a wonderful person whose love for the ocean, nature, and HAWAII truly shone through. The endlessly blue and clear waters of the Big Island... the friendly and adorable eyes of the dolphins... the majestic sight of the manta ray swimming gracefully... It was truly an experience beyond imagination... I lost track of time and swam with enthusiasm!! I definitely want to participate again someday.

野生のイルカと一緒に泳ぎたい!
長年あたためてきた夢を叶えるべく参加しました。
とはいっても野生のイルカなので一緒に泳ぐというよりも遠くから眺める程度かなと…正直なところそう思っていました。
ところが実際には、本当に手がとどきそうなくらいの距離で、たくさんのイルカと泳ぐことができました!!
マンタともすぐ近くで泳ぎました!
ネイチャーガイドの縄田さん(アロハコナツアーズ)がとても親切で丁寧な対応をして下さり、初めての海外の海でも不安なく泳げました。というかツアー参加者以上に楽しんでいる(いい意味で)縄田さんの姿に、私達も思わず笑顔がこぼれ、緊張も不安もすっかり忘れてしまったという感じでした。海を…自然を…HAWAIIを心から愛する気持ちが人柄にあらわれているような素敵な方でした。
どこまでも青く澄んだビッグアイランドの海…イルカ達の人懐こく愛くるしい瞳…悠然と泳ぐ雄大なマンタの姿…
まさに想像を超えた体験…時間も忘れて夢中で泳ぎました!!
いつかまた必ず参加したいと思っています。

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

The starry sky is related to the moon... 星空は月との関係で・・・

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The sunset was beautiful. The observatories, including Subaru, reflecting the sunset were wonderful. Unfortunately, the starry sky was not very visible due to the bright moon, which was close to being full. It seemed that the staff's laser pointer for showing constellations was broken. It was a lack of preparation.

サンセットは綺麗に見られました。夕日に反射するスバルを始めとする天文台群が素晴らしかったです。星空は満月に近い明るい月の影響で綺麗に見えず残念でした。スタッフの星座を示すレーザーが壊れていたようです。準備不足ですね。

Reply from activity provider

Thank you for participating in the Mauna Kea Sunset Tour. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the sunset views.

We sincerely apologize for the laser malfunction on the day of the tour. We will strive to ensure that such issues do not occur again by reinforcing our internal quality control.

Stargazing can be affected by the phases of the moon, so if your travel schedule allows, we recommend planning your visit around the new moon. We hope you will join us for the sunset tour again on your next trip to the Big Island, ideally around the new moon.

この度はマウナケアサンセットツアーに参加いただきありがとうございました。
サンセットの景色を楽しんでいただけたとのことで、大変嬉しく思っております。

当日はレーザーが壊れてしまい、まことに申し訳ございませんでした。今後はこのようなことが二度とないよう社内の品質管理の徹底に努めてまいります。

星空観測は月の満ち欠けが影響するので、旅行日程にご都合がつくようでしたら新月に近い日程をおすすめいたします。次回ハワイ島にいらっしゃる際は新月に近い日程にサンセットツアーにいらしてください。

ハワイ島 アトランティス潜水艦 ハワイの海底アドベンチャー <日本語オーディオガイド> 

I went diving on the Big Island of Hawaii!! ハワイ島でダイブしてきました!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The day after arriving on the Big Island, I went on a submarine ride. The weather was nice and the wind was just right, and everyone in my group (from my grandfather to my 5-year-old child, a total of 9 people) was in high spirits.

I was worried about getting seasick and thought I should have taken some motion sickness medication, but as we submerged deeper and the fish appeared before us, all those worries vanished.

The fish I mainly saw were vibrant yellow ones and black and white striped fish. I wish I could have seen more colorful fish like red or blue ones. Perhaps if I had dived in Oahu, I might have encountered a wider variety of fish.

During the dive, there were various explanations in English, and for Japanese speakers, we were given earphones to hear the explanations in Japanese. However, the English explanations were so loud that I couldn't hear the Japanese ones at all, which was disappointing.

That said, the sea was beautifully clear and blue, and I was able to witness truly wonderful scenery, making it a fantastic memory!

ハワイ島に到着した翌日、潜水艦に乗りました^^
天気も良く風も程よく、同行者全員(一番上はおじいちゃんから、一番下は5歳の子供まで総勢9名)気分は上々↑↑

船酔いするかな…酔い止めの薬、飲んでくれば良かったかな…なんて思っているうちに、どんどん潜水していき、目の前に魚たちがあらわれた時には、そんな心配はどこかへ吹き飛んでいました。

主に目にした魚は鮮やかな黄色や、黒と白のストライプの魚が中心でした。赤とか青とか、もう少し違った色の魚が見れればもっと良かったかな…って思っています。
もしかしたら、オアフ島でダイブしていれば、もっと色とりどりの魚を目にすることができたのかもしれませんね。

また、潜水中は、英語で色々と説明があり、日本人に対しては、日本語の説明が聞こえるイヤホンを渡されるのですが、英語の説明の声が大きすぎて、日本語の説明が全く聞こえず残念でした。

とはいえ、海はどこまでも青く澄んで綺麗で、本当に素敵な光景を目にすることができとても素晴らしい思い出になりました~!!

Thank you for participating in the submarine tour on the Big Island. We are very pleased to hear that your family was able to see the tropical fish that inhabit the Big Island. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience regarding the Japanese audio guide not being audible through the earphones on the day of the tour. There is a volume adjustment near the viewing point (submarine window) where you can increase the volume to hear the guide better, and we hope you can make use of that.

Additionally, the types of fish you can see vary depending on the sea conditions and the season. Even in the same location, you may encounter different species of fish and marine life, so we would love for you to join us again in the future.

Please come visit the Big Island again!

この度はハワイ島の潜水艦ツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございました。

また、魚の種類に関してはその日の海の状況や季節などによってもご覧いただける魚の種類が異なります。同じ場所に潜っても違った種類の魚や生き物を見ていただけることも多くありますので、またの機会にご参加いただきたいと思います。

またハワイ島に遊びにいらしてください!

Aloha!!

Thank you for your support at the end of the year.
This is a friendly and fun tour company run by a Japanese couple.

This tour is perfect for beginners and solo travelers, allowing you to participate with peace of mind. As expected, they are well-versed in dolphin points, and the encounter rate is truly 99%.

This time, it seems the dolphin interactions were particularly good, and I was able to play around a lot in the vast ocean of Hawaii. Three adorable dolphins swam gracefully around me, providing the ultimate healing experience and fully recharging my energy. On top of that, we also encountered humpback whales during this season, making it a fulfilling experience.

If you want to enjoy dolphin swimming on the Big Island, I think you should definitely choose this tour without hesitation. I can confidently recommend it!! I also plan to rely on them again when I go to Hawaii at the end of this year.

Thank you for the amazing time♪

UFO Parasail Adventure - Best Kona Parasailing Tour

First time

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This was my first time to parasail. I came to Hawaii with my mother who is afraid of heights and water, so I was on my own. It was my first morning in Hawaii and I was not sure where to go. When I called the office after not finding it on my own the lady who answered stayed on the phone talking me through parking then waling from several blocks away. Outstanding service to make sure I was were I needed to be! As soon as I stepped on board both men where ready to answer any questions and talk me through the process with calm confidence. I don't think I could have had a better experience. Thanks to all who worked that day to make my first time a positive experience in what could have been an stressful situation.

ハワイ島 ハイキング&オフロードドライブ 滝遊びもあり <1日/昼食付/英語ガイド>

Kohara Falls Tour コハラ滝ツアー

Reviewed by: こぱんだ

I thought this course would be perfect for us who love trekking, so I made a reservation. I was also attracted by the organizer's name, Hawaii Forest & Trail.

While I considered that since we had a rental car for waterfall trekking, we might not need a tour, I ultimately decided to leave it to the professionals.

At the time of booking, it was stated that there would be no pick-up service, but when I called to confirm on-site, I was pleasantly surprised to find out they would pick us up at our hotel. Additionally, they took our requests for the sandwich fillings for lunch. This really motivated us.

On the day of the tour, since it was an English-guided tour (with Mike as our guide), we had a diverse group including four families from Michigan, a Chinese American couple, a Japanese couple, and a Russian woman living in the U.S., along with us (with our 7-year-old child). It truly lived up to its name as a tour that everyone could enjoy.

With this group, we switched to an old military 6WD vehicle for an off-road experience. We bumped over private ranches and fields, and everyone was thrilled by the incredible vibrations and wind! It was quite cold. After that, we trekked through taro fields and across a suspension bridge, learning about ancient Hawaiian divination methods and plant names while visiting small waterfalls. Although we didn't swim due to the high water levels, I thought it would be a perfect spot in the summer.

The trekking was light enough that even our 7-year-old had no trouble, and we enjoyed a wrap sandwich filled with plenty of alfalfa, cheese, and turkey, along with guava juice and cookies at a ranch overlooking the stunning views of Pololu Valley. This wrap sandwich was among the top meals I had on the Big Island due to its location!

On the way back, we were jostled in the 6WD while exploring the town of Hawi. This town seems nostalgic to Westerners, and I heard from several people that it’s a nice place, although it’s not mentioned much in Japanese guidebooks.

The tour was different from those aimed at Japanese tourists, and I had a lot of fun. I got to know the other members well and exchanged various information, and Mike's warm hospitality along with the breathtaking photos of Pololu Valley left us with wonderful memories.

トレッキングが好きな私達にぴったりのコースだと思い予約しました。主催者の名前もHawaii Forrest & Trailで魅かれました。

滝トレッキングなら、レンタカーもしたしわざわざツアーでなくても良いかなとも思ったのですが、やはりそこはプロに任せることに。

予約時は送迎なしということでしたが、現地で電話で確認するとホテルまで迎えに来てくれるという嬉しい変更が。更に、昼食のサンドイッチの具のリクエストもきいてくれました。俄然やる気になる私達。

当日は、英語のガイドツアー(マイクさん)ということもあって、ミシガンからの4家族、チャイニーズアメリカンと日本人のカップル、在米ロシア人の女性一人参加、と私達(子供7歳)とまさにすべての人が楽しめるツアーと名をうっているだけのことはあるという、バリエーション豊かな面子でした。

このグループで、オーストリアの昔の軍用車6WDに乗り換えてのオフロード体験。私有地の牧場や、畑をがたがた超えてすごい振動と風にみんな大興奮!!かなり寒かったです。その後、タロ畑、つり橋をトレッキングし、ハワイ人古来の占い方法や植物の名前などを教わりながら小さな滝をめぐりました。増水していたので泳ぎはしませんでしたが、夏場だったら絶好の場所だと思いました。

7歳の子供でも全く足でまどいになることがない軽い感じのトレッキングで、ポロル渓谷の絶景を臨む牧場でたっぷりのアルファルファとチーズとターキーのラップサンドと、グアバジュース、クッキーを頂きました。このラップサンド、場所が場所だけに、ハワイ島で味わった食事1,2を争う美味しさでした! 

帰りは6WDに揺られて、HAWIの町を散策。この町は欧米人にはノスタルジックらしく、いい場所だと何人からもきいていましたが日本人のガイドブックにはあまり述べられていない場所です。

日本人向けのツアーと、またおもむきやメンバーが違って非常に楽しめました。他のメンバーとも仲良くなって色々情報交換もでき、マイクさんの暖かいホスピタリティーとポロル渓谷の絶景写真と非常によい思い出が残りました。

Sea cave

Reviewed by: susan

This was reccommended for all levels. I do not agree. We had several children who were not able to paddle and it made it very hard for the adult in that boat. My parents are in their seventies, the guides were nice enough to pull them. The tour was great my family was not the type of customer that needed to be on this tour. We were allowed out of the kayak to snorkle, a very nice spot, but we had to climb on rocks to take a break. The sea cave was neat but not exactly what I was expecting. We ahd to ask to jump off the cliffs - I am not sure they usually do that although it is in the description. The dolphin and whales were no where to be seen. think there are better snorkling tours available unless you are strong and love to kayak.
However the staff and company was great.

We participated as a pair in June. Last time it was Mr. Taikobou, so this time we tried Mr. Masashi. Both have their own unique characteristics and are interesting. Both were kind and fun staff members. I think the experience is influenced by weather conditions. We decided on the schedule while looking at the travel itinerary and the moon phase, but the moon was a bit bright, and I felt that the number of visible stars was different compared to last time. I recommend being mindful of the moon phase when making your reservation.

I had a truly wonderful time participating in this tour. The attention to detail from the Japanese guide made me feel 130% satisfied as a tour participant.

It was cloudy, but the sunset was beautiful. 曇りだったけど、夕陽がキレイでした

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The day I participated, the moon was bright due to the approaching full moon, making conditions not ideal for stargazing, and the thick clouds meant that the expected starry sky near the summit was not visible.

Even though the stars were not visible, the sunset sinking into the clouds was very beautiful, and it made me feel like I was above the clouds, which I think is one of the joys of the experience.

I also want to thank the staff who helped me find points where I could see the stars as I gradually descended by car, even though I couldn't see them near the summit!

Since the moon was bright due to the approaching full moon, I had them take a photo of the moon through the telescope, and I’m bragging to my friends about how clearly the craters are visible.

Thanks to the guidance on when to drink water in the car, I had no issues with altitude sickness, which I had been worried about. Next time, I would like to participate when the full moon is not approaching.

参加した日は、満月が近いので月が明るくて星の観測としては条件が良くない日で、さらに雲が厚かったので、頂上付近では期待通の満天の星空は見えませんでした。

星は見えなくても雲に沈んでいく夕陽がとてもキレイで、雲の上にいることを実感するので、それも楽しみの一つだと思います。

また、頂上付近で見えなかったから、と、車で少しずつ降りては星の見えるポイントを探して何とか観測させてくれたスタッフの方に感謝です!

満月が近くて月が明るいので望遠鏡から観た月の写真をカメラにおさめてもらい、月のクレーターがクッキリ見えているのを友人に自慢しています。

心配していた高山病も、車中でお水を飲むタイミングを指示してくれたりしたおかげで全く問題ありませんでした。
次回は満月近くを外して参加したいと思います。

An exciting experience! エキサイティングな体験!

Reviewed by: okei

I participated with three female friends who are also golf buddies on November 30.

Since it was the first experience for me and another friend, we were a bit nervous, but we were able to enjoy it without any worries.

On this day, we were lucky enough to have a pod of dolphins come into the bay, so we could snorkel there without moving and saw the dolphins over and over again.

The water was incredibly clear, and the dolphins swam in groups, diving deep and then coming up to the surface, jumping right in front of us, which was so exciting. Even though we couldn't catch up, we couldn't help but chase after them in excitement. I even saw a baby dolphin swimming while nursing from its mother. I can't count how many times I ended up swallowing seawater from excitement... (laughs) Even now, just remembering it brings back those emotions.

That said, we were very grateful to our guide, Mr. Nawata. While we were in the water, he constantly made sure we were safe as we swam around excitedly, sometimes diving to take pictures of the dolphins, taking pictures of us, and pulling us in the direction where the dolphins were likely to come...

The beautiful gradient of the sea color at the beach that Mr. Nawata recommended on the way back was also breathtaking.

There are many similar tours, but we all agreed that we were glad to have participated in Mr. Nawata's tour!

 ゴルフ友達女3人組で11月30日に参加しました。 

私ともう一人は初体験だったので、少し緊張してたのですが不安なく楽しむことができました。

この日はラッキーなことに、入江にイルカの群れが来てたので、移動することなく ずっとそこで シュノーケリングでき 何度も何度も イルカたちを見ました。 

海の中はすごい透明で、群れで泳いでるイルカたちが 深く潜っていき、それから海面に上がってきて、目の前でジャンプしたり、と 大興奮でした。  追いつくはずもないのに、思わず夢中で追いかけてしまいます。
赤ちゃんイルカがお母さんのおっぱいを飲みながら泳いでいるのも見ました。
興奮して叫んで何度海水を飲んだことか・・(笑)
今思い出しても あの感動が甦ります。

それにしても ガイドの縄田さんにはお世話になりました。
海に入ってる時は、上記のように興奮して泳ぎ回ってる私達に絶えず気をつけてくれ、時には 潜ってイルカの写真をとったり、私達の写真をとってくれたり、イルカの来そうな方向に引っ張って行ってくれたり・・
帰りに連れて行ってくれた、縄田さんお薦めのビーチのグラデーションの美しい海の色も感動ものでした。

同じようなツアーはたくさんありますが、この縄田さんのツアーに参加してよかった!と全員一致しました。

Dolphin snorkeling tour イルカ シュノーケーリングツアー

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was surprised to find dolphins as soon as we went out to sea. Once we entered the water, I could hear the dolphins' calls, and I was deeply moved to see them swimming close by and in groups. On the way back, a mother and baby dolphin swam right next to our boat, allowing us to see wild dolphins up close.

Additionally, both the captain of the boat and the local Japanese guide were very kind, and we had a wonderful time.

 海に出てすぐにイルカを見つけることが出来てびっくりしました。海に入るとイルカの鳴き声が聞こえ、自分の近くを泳いで行ったり、群れで泳いでいる姿を間近で見れたり、とっても感動しました。帰りも船のすぐ横を親子のイルカが一緒に泳いでいたりと本当にすぐ近くに野生のイルカを見ることが出来ます。
 また船のキャプテンも現地日本人ガイドの方もとっても親切で、楽しい時間を過ごす事ができました。

Island Breeze Luau at King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel with Show, Dinner & Drinks Included

Island Breeze Luau

Reviewed by: Wanda and Keith

This was an amazing Luau.. WOW! Can't say enough about it. The food was amazing, the entertainment, the entire night. We opted for preferred seating so we were escorted right in, greeted with a fresh flower lei and had our picture taken. That was just the start of a truly fantastic evening. It was held near the ocean at the King Kamehameha Hotel within view of the Ahuena Heiau. The Ahu'ena Heiau is the religious temple that served Kamehameha the Great when he returned to the Big Island in 1812. The show after dinner was spectacular, hard to describe with words.

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 cold! But beautiful!! 寒い!ケド綺麗!!

Reviewed by: きらこ

I went to see the sunset, and it was incredibly beautiful! The sunset was great, but unfortunately, there were clouds in the sky, so I couldn't see the stars. However, the guides were very engaging and tried their best until the very end... their service was excellent.

When we had our lunch just before reaching the summit, we enjoyed warm miso soup, tea, and cocoa, which really helped warm us up.

Additionally, they lent us ski wear-like outerwear, which was great! Other tour participants only had outerwear for the upper body, so they looked very cold.

The summit is quite chilly. The restroom is also quite scary—it's very dark.

But the beauty of the sunset made me forget the cold.

Also, the guides actively took photos for us, and even though we didn't have many pictures of the two of us, they captured some wonderful commemorative photos.

I'm sure I would have been even more moved if I could have seen the stars, but it's nature, so there's nothing we can do about it. The people who participated in the tour with us said, "This means we have to come back again!"

That's true. I definitely want to try again.

サンセットを見に行きましたが、めちゃくちゃキレイでした!!
サンセットはとても良い感じで見れたのですが、残念な事に星空は上空に雲が出てしまい、見ることが出来ませんでした。
でも、ガイドさんたちはいろいろ盛り上げてくれたり、最後の最後までトライしてくれたり・・・対応がとても良かったです。

山頂手前でいただいたお弁当の時は、温かいお味噌汁、お茶、ココアなどいただき、これがまた体を温めてくれました。

それに、上下でスキーウェアのような防寒具を貸していただき、これは良かった!!
他のツアーの人は上だけの防寒具だったりしてたので、とても寒そうに見えました。

山頂はかなり寒いです。
トイレもかなり怖いです。真っ暗で。

ケド、寒さを忘れるくらい、サンセットはキレイでした。

また、ガイドさんが積極的に写真を撮って下さり、2人の写真があまりなかったなか、記念のステキな写真を撮っていただけました。

きっと星空が見えたらもっと感動してたと思いますが、自然の事ですから、仕方がないですよね。
ツアーに一緒に参加してた人たちは『これは、もう一回来いって事よね!』って言ってました。

その通りですね。
是非、再チャレンジしてみたいと思います。

I got seasick. 船酔いしました

Reviewed by: tommy

I took medication in advance, but I ended up getting seasick and feeding the fish a lot. However, I was pleasantly surprised that the dolphins played with us, and I was satisfied to swim with them. Those who are used to the sea were diving and swimming together. For those who are not good at swimming, it might be a little scary at first, but there were two staff members supporting the six participants, so it was okay.

事前に薬を飲んだのですが、船酔いしてお魚にたくさんエサをあげてしまいました。。しかし、期待以上にイルカが一緒に遊んでくれて、イルカと泳げて満足です。海に慣れている方は潜って一緒に泳いでいました。泳ぎが得意でない方は、はじめ少し怖いかもしれませんが、参加者6人に対してスタッフが2名でサポートしてくれるので大丈夫でした。

ハワイ島 パラセイリング <午前・午後/カイルアコナ発> by UFO Parasail

I felt amazing!! The view was incredible. 最高の気分!!すごい眺めでした

Reviewed by: tamiyo

I participated for the first time in Hawaii.

On the first day of our honeymoon, right after arriving in Hawaii, we headed to Kailua-Kona by rental car for parasailing. Our excitement skyrocketed instantly! We chose the deluxe course at a height of 244 meters, and the view from up there was absolutely breathtaking. Surrounded by the endless blue sky and ocean, we kept saying, "This is amazing!" It was truly a sight to behold.

While flying, the boat would turn and drop down close to the water's surface several times, adding to the fun. We went in jeans and T-shirts, but if you wear a swimsuit and say you're okay with getting wet, they will lower you down to where your feet touch the water. The rapid ascents and descents were quite thrilling, making it not just a scenic experience but also an exciting attraction! If you're feeling a bit apprehensive, I think you can still enjoy it at the lowest height. Even the middle height we chose felt quite high, so I wonder what the top height would be like... I would definitely like to try it again if I have the chance!

One thing to be cautious about is the safety checks at the reception and on the boat. If you're not confident in your English, it might feel a bit challenging, but especially regarding the instructions on "not touching the equipment" and "how to fasten the belt," I think it's important to confirm until you fully understand, even if you have to use gestures. The guide didn't speak Japanese, but explained everything carefully in English. They will teach you as many times as needed if you don't understand something. It's crucial not to just casually respond with "OK."

Once on the boat, you'll quickly find yourself in the middle of the ocean, and when you're ready, you'll soar into the sky... If you prepare yourself mentally to avoid panicking once you're up there, I believe anyone can enjoy it safely!

初めてのハワイで参加しました。

ハネムーン初日、ハワイ到着後すぐにレンタカーでカイルアコナに向かい、パラセイリングへ。ここで一気にテンションMAXになってしまいました☆★
高さ244mのデラックスコースを選びましたが、空から見る景色は本当に本当に絶景で、どこまでも広がる青い空と海の中で、二人でただただ「すごいねぇ」を連発していました。まさに息をのむような光景だったと思います。

飛んでいる間は、何度かボートが曲がったり、高度を海面スレスレまで下げたりして楽しませてくれます。
私たちはジーパン&Tシャツでいったのですが、水着を着ていて「濡れるの(WET)OKだ」と言えば、足が水につくぐらいまで下げてくれるようです。急上昇&急降下はけっこうスリリングなので、景色だけじゃなくアトラクションとしてもかなり魅力的でした!!
もし、「ちょっと怖いかな…」と思うようであれば、一番低い高度でも十分楽しめると思います。私たちの選んだ真ん中のでもかなりの高度だと感じたので、一番上だとどんな感じなのか…。また機会があれば、是非チャレンジしてみたいです!!


注意した方が良いのは、受付時とボートの上での安全確認です。英語に自信のない方はちょっと難しく感じるかもしれませんが、特にボート上で言われる「金具をさわらないこと」と「ベルトの締め方」については、ゼスチャー交じりでも良いので、納得できるまでしっかり確認をした方が良いと思います。
ガイドの方は日本語はできませんが、英語で丁寧に説明してくれました。こちらが理解できていないことは、何度でも教えてくれます。大切なのは、決して適当に「OK」と返事をしてしまわないことだと思います。

ボートに乗るとあっという間に海の真ん中に出て、準備ができれば一気に空の上…上にあがってから急にパニックにならないよう、落ち着いて心の準備をしておけば、誰でも安全に楽しめると思います!!
