A manta ray right in front of me! マンタが目の前に！

Reviewed by: bagus!

I was really impressed when the manta rays turned right in front of me multiple times!

I wonder if it would have been even more fun to swim with them, but since it was night, the chances of getting lost increase, so it might be difficult?

But it was so much fun! I highly recommend it, so if you come to Hawaii, definitely check it out!!

マンタが目の前で何度もターンをしてくれてすごく感動しました！

一緒に泳げるともっと楽しかったのかなぁと思いましたが、夜なので遭難になる確率があがるから難しいのかな？

でも、すごく楽しかったです！オススメなので、ハワイに来た際はぜひ！！

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 sunset and the starry sky viewed from above the clouds! It was so healing for my heart! 雲上から眺める夕陽と満天の星！心が癒されました！

Reviewed by: honu

This time, we were blessed with good weather, and the sunset and stargazing from above the clouds were wonderful. I was captivated by the gradient of colors changing from yellow to deep red, forgetting the passage of time. During stargazing, I was able to see the North Star, the Southern Cross, the Milky Way, and several shooting stars, which reminded me of the starry skies at Yokote Mountain where I used to stay during my student days. Although I had a view of about 180 degrees, this time it was a full 360 degrees☆☆☆☆☆. The guide's explanations of the constellations were easy to understand, and thanks to that, I was able to grasp how to observe constellations, which I found confusing in elementary school science. I had no idea that Scorpio was so large. I'm thrilled that I've now been able to identify constellations beyond just the Big Dipper.

今回は、天候にも恵まれ雲上からの夕陽と星座観測が素晴らしかったです
夕日は暫し、時間の経過も忘れ唯々その黄色から深紅に変わりゆくグラデーションに見とれていました。
星座観測では、北極星・南十字星・天の川に加え、複数の流れ星も見ることができて、久しぶりに学生時代に居候していた横手山の星空を思い出しました。せいぜ１８０度位の視界でしたが、今回は３６０度☆☆☆☆☆に☆彡三昧でした。ガイドさんの星座の解説も判りやすく、小学校の理科ではチンプンカンプンだった星座の見方もお陰様で分かるようになりました。さそり座があんなに大きかったなんて知りませんでした。これからは、北斗七星以外にも自分で見つけられる星座ができたことはうれしい限りです。

Snow in Hawaii!! ハワイで雪！！

Reviewed by: sweet

This is quite an old post, but... I wanted to do some stargazing, so I signed up for this tour in December! I already knew it had snowed while I was in Japan, and when I received a call before the pickup time, I was informed that "due to the snowfall at the summit of Mauna Kea, stargazing might not be possible." I appreciated the advance notice, as it allowed me to prepare mentally.

On the day of the tour, there were quite a few clouds, and it seemed like the weather was going to be a challenge for deciding where to watch the sunset. However, our guide worked really hard, checking the cloud conditions and exchanging information with other guides, and we were able to move around and successfully view the sunset! We also got some wonderful photos taken!

The guide made sure to use the digital cameras and DSLRs that participants had to capture the best shots. Before stargazing, we had some time for shopping, exploring wild plants, and enjoying a lunch break. The warmth of the miso soup was comforting in the cold! At such a high altitude, the air felt different from what you would expect in Hawaii.

Then it was time for stargazing... or so we thought, but unfortunately, there had been snowfall near the summit, and the road was closed, so we couldn't go to the top. It was really disappointing, but the stars were beautiful even from the mid-level area where we waited! Since we couldn't do the stargazing, we also received a partial refund.

However, thanks to our unique and entertaining guide who worked hard throughout the tour, I had a very enjoyable time! If I get the chance again, I would love to try for a second time! Thank you so much to the guide who put in so much effort from start to finish!

かなり前の投稿になってしまいますが…
星空観察がしたくて、12月にこちらのツアーに申し込みました！
雪が降ったことは日本にいるときに既に知っており、
ピックアップ時間前にお電話を頂いた時も「マウナケア山頂の積雪によってもしかすると星空観測ができないかもしれない」という連絡を頂いていました。
事前連絡を頂けて、心の準備ができたので有難かったです。
当日は少し雲が多めで、サンセットの場所をどうするかがかなりの悩ましいお天気だったようです。
でも、すごく頑張ってガイドさんが雲の様子を見ながらほかのガイドさんとの情報交換を続けてくれて、あちこちと動いてくれて無事にサンセットを見学！！
素敵な写真も撮っていただきました！！
参加者が持っているデジカメや一眼レフも、ちゃんと使いこなしてベストな写真を残してくださいます。
星空観測の前に時間があって、ショッピングや野草の見学、お弁当タイムも。
寒さにお味噌汁の温かさがしみるぅぅ！
標高が高いので、ハワイとは思えないような空気を感じます。
そしていざ、星空観察…！！
の予定でしたが、あいにく頂上付近からしばらく積雪があり、道路はクローズになっていて頂上には行けませんでした…。
本当に残念でしたが、待機していた中腹部分でも星はきれいでした！
そして、星空観察ができなかった為、一部返金もしていただきました。
でも、個性的な面白いガイドさんが終始頑張ってくれたおかげで、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました！
また機会があるなら、リベンジしたいです！
せっかくのツアー時間だからと、最初から最後まですごく頑張ってくださったガイドさん、本当にありがとうございました^^

This was the most anticipated activity of our honeymoon. It was incredibly fun and an unforgettable tour that exceeded our expectations! Our guide, Daisuke, had a special connection with the dolphins and truly knew them better than anyone else…! He was so enthusiastic that he even bent the captain's instructions to let us try again, shining with joy more than any other participant that day (laughs). However, that enthusiasm made us participants very happy, and I believe we had a truly valuable experience! There were quite a number of dolphins, and I will never forget the view the moment I put my face in the water! All the other staff members were friendly and wonderful people! I was able to spend a lovely time with the other participants. Thank you so much! If I can visit the Big Island again, I would definitely love to participate again!!

今回の新婚旅行で、一番の楽しみにしていたアクティビティでした。

でも、そんなお気持ちが私たち参加者には嬉しくて、とても貴重な体験ができたと思います！
かなりの数のイルカがいてくれた時だったそうで、海面に顔を入れた瞬間のあの景色はずっと忘れません！
ほかのスタッフさんもみなさんフレンドリーで素敵な方々ばかりでした！
一緒に参加した方々と一緒になって素敵な時間を過ごせました。

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

Knowledgable, respectful, fun captain and crew.

Reviewed by: Fiona

It is hard to know which cruise to book--well this is the one I would go with each time! The crew were knowledgable and respectful! As we came into the bay, their were a pod of spinner dolphins; we kept a respectful distance but we all got to take photos. Then when we pulled into anchor and snorkel, they made sure we knew to keep our distance from where the dolphins were swimming, since the dolphins come to the bay to rest it is even more important for people to give them their space--so impressed with the crew.

The snorkeling was beautiful. The coral was amazing and at many different levels with sooo many different species of fish!! Fabulous!

Overwhelmed by the breathtaking natural scenery! 大自然の景色に圧倒‼️

Reviewed by: sho

The stargazing and sunset were beyond my expectations. I had heard it would be cold, but the warm clothing kept me comfortable, and I was able to enjoy the sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea. The bento we had along the way was delightful, featuring white rice, fried white fish, and teriyaki chicken, along with some vegetables! The taro or sweet potato was delicious. And the miso soup was a bit salty for me!

After the sunset, the stargazing was amazing. Our guide, MASA, showed us Jupiter through the telescope, and the second guide (Yona-mitchi?!) explained the stars very well! I was surprised to see the Southern Cross. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't find out my own constellation.

Thank you for ensuring I didn't get altitude sickness and for bringing me back safely.

I've only seen dolphins at the aquarium!! 水族館でしかみたことないイルカが！！

Reviewed by: vivi

I gathered at the port, which is about a 10-minute drive from the hotel in Kona! There were so few Japanese people that I felt a sense of relief in an environment where Japanese could be spoken.

At first, we had a hard time finding the dolphin spot and kept cruising around the Waikoloa area. Just when I started to worry, the boat stopped, and we entered the water!

When we dove in at the call of "Here they come!", a large number of dolphins swam towards us!!!! The dolphins, which I usually only see in the aquarium, swam towards us leisurely and happily.

They twirled around, jumped, and swam close together, and it was such a precious experience that was incredibly cute!!! Thank you, Lei and Aki, for sharing so many stories and for being such warm-hearted people. I had a wonderful time! Thank you very much!

コナのホテルから車で10分くらいの港に現地集合で行きました！探さないと日本人が見つからない位の少なさの中で、日本語が通じる環境に安心感、、^o^

来ましたよ〜！の声で海に潜ると、大量のイルカたちがこっちに向かってきました！！！！
普段は水族館のプールの中でしか見たことのないイルカたちが、のんびりと、楽しそうにこっちに向かって泳いできました。
くるくると回ったり、飛び跳ねたり、2頭で身体をくっつけて泳いだり、可愛くて可愛くて、とても貴重な体験をしました！！！

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

The height is... 高さは…。

Reviewed by: MASASHI

I participated in a 150-meter parasailing tour. It was my first experience. I parked my rental car in the public parking lot of the Kamehameha Hotel, where the reception office is located! (After checking in, if you hand over the parking ticket, you can get a discount on parking fees for up to three hours. Don't forget your parking ticket if you park there.)

All communication with the reception staff was in English. The instructions for how to ride and safety guidelines were in Japanese, though. After completing the check-in, I was informed of the meeting time and took a little break.

We headed to the pier, boarded the boat, and set off! The parasailing goes up to about 40 meters high. I thought it would be more windy, but it felt like I was floating gently, and it wasn't scary at all. My friend, who has a fear of heights, was able to ride normally too.

150メートルのパラセーリングツアーに参加しました。初めての体験でした。
レンタカーは、受付の事務所がある、カメハメハホテルのパブリックパーキングに止めました！（受付後、駐車場のチケットを渡すと3時間以内は駐車料金が格安になる割引をしてもらえます。止める方は駐車チケット忘れずに。）
受付の人と話すのは、すべて英語でした。乗り方や安全の説明書みたいのは日本語でしたけど。受付を済ますと集合時間を教えてもらって

A bit disappointing. ちょっと残念

Reviewed by: とーーーー

Our tour had less light compared to other tours, and people around us mentioned that other places were gathering more plankton. I agree with that. We could only see the mantas from a distance at the neighboring tour, which lacked impact. Additionally, one of the participants was splashing their feet and making noise, which made it seem like the mantas didn't want to come closer. I wished the instructor had better control over the participants.

自分たちのツアーは、他のツアーに比べてライトの量が少なく他のところの方がプランクトンを集めているんじゃないかと周りの人が言ってました。私も同感です。となりのツアーのところに来ているマンタを遠くから見る事しか出来ず、迫力に欠けました。また、同じツアー参加者が、足をバタバタさせて騒ぐので、マンタも近づいてくれなかった様に感じます。インストラクターはもっと参加者をコントロールして欲しかったです。

This is a winter limited event, so I thought I had to go this time! There were hardly any Japanese people, and the explanations were in English, but I was able to enjoy the atmosphere! As for the whales, I was able to see their tails and spouts, although it was from quite a distance. I think there were quite a few of them. However, I couldn't see them as close as it was mentioned on the reservation site, so that was a bit different from my expectations.

A friend recommended that I go up to nearly 4,000 meters on Mauna Kea, so I found this tour and joined. I was looking forward to enjoying the starry sky as we drove there, but due to an unexpected wildfire, we could only climb partway and had to turn back. Although I couldn't see the stars at the summit, the guide was very thoughtful and stopped the car at various points so we could admire the night sky. We were also able to see a beautiful sunset. It was extremely cold, but the guide lent me a cozy warm jacket, which was a lifesaver! I hope to be able to see the stars at the summit next time...

Deluxe Volcano Unveiled Tour and Golden Lava Cave Expedition [Not Available]

A Dream Come True

Reviewed by: Annie

This was purchased as a birthday gift for my sister. She has always been fascinated by volcanoes and it's been her lifelong dream to come to the island and see the volcano for herself. She was incredibly excited to have this tour. However, the day before it was scheduled, she received a call and was told that there had been a mistake when recording her reservation and they no longer had room for her on her scheduled date. They offered to move her reservation to a different day or to schedule her for the same day as her initial reservation for instead for the Epic Circle Island Volcano Journey. She chose to keep her originally scheduled day and do the Epic Circle Island Volcano Journey.

The woman who called was very apologetic and kind, let's face it, humans make mistakes sometimes, we've all done it. They did their very best to make it right. In the end, my sister said her experience was incredible and she was glad there had been a little bit of a mix up, because she thought the tour she went on was better (granted, that is based purely on the description of the originally scheduled tour).

Her guide was knowledgeable and told all kinds of stories about Pele and the island and recounted the history of the volcano. The lava tube they visited was unique and interesting and fascinated her.

Overall, it was a huge win and even in spite of the little problem I would definitely book again!

I didn't get to see the manta rays, but I had a great experience. マンタと会えなかったがいい経験をしました

Reviewed by: アワテンボウのテンショウ

This time, we went to a point where we could encounter manta rays, but due to the rough sea conditions, the captain wisely decided to return to port. I hope we have another opportunity in the future. However, it was a good experience.

Upon arriving at Honokohau Harbor, we received explanations from a Japanese guide, and I put on a wetsuit for the first time and got ready for snorkeling. I was excited as it felt like the adventure was about to begin. There were about 20 participants, including foreign tourists. We took pictures in our wetsuits. Finally, we set sail. Along the way, we enjoyed the scenery after the sunset. The boat kicked up the rough waves, with sudden drops and rises, and everyone was letting out laughter mixed with screams? It felt just like a roller coaster.

When we reached the point, several boats were already shining their lights, aiming for the manta rays. Our captain carefully navigated the boat, observing the other vessels and communicating to gather information about the manta rays. Unfortunately, it seemed that there were very few manta rays today, and due to the rough waves, we were advised to return to port to avoid fatigue from being in the water.

The tour company had mentioned before departure that, due to the nature of the wild, they couldn't guarantee sightings at the point, so there were no complaints from anyone. However, they kindly explained that we could attempt again for free since we didn't see any manta rays, which I thought was very considerate of the tour company (even though they incurred costs for fuel, drinks, and snacks...). We had another schedule, so we couldn't attempt again this time, but I hope there will be a chance in the future. I am grateful to Veltra and the tour company, Dolphin Hawaii, for providing such a great experience.

今回はマンタと出会えるポイント迄行きましたが海の荒れ状況から船長の賢明なる判断で帰港せざる得なく、またの機会があればなぁと思っております。
でもいい経験が出来ました。
ホノウコウハーバーに到着し、日本人には日本人ガイドさんより説明を受け、初めてのウェットスーツを着てシュノーケリングを付けました。いよいよ始まるって感じでワクワクです。外人観光客も含め約２０名の参加者です。ウェットスーツ姿の写真を撮り合ってます。いよいよ出航です。途中、夕陽が沈んだ後の景色を見ながらの航行です。船は荒波を蹴り、急降下、急上昇あり、皆は笑いを伴う悲鳴？を発してます。まるでジェットコースターの気分。ポイントに着くと十数隻の船が既にライトを照らしマンタを狙っています。私たちの船長は慎重に船を進め他の船の様子を伺い連絡を取リあってマンタの情報を得ています。どうも本日はマンタの数も大変少なく波も荒い為、私たちが海に浸かることにより疲れが生じることから中止、帰港となりました。
催行会社としては出航する前から自然界のことだからポイントに行く迄見れる保証は出来ない旨、話されていたので誰からもクレームは出なかったです。
でも見れなかった代わりに再度の挑戦を無料で実施する旨、説明有り何て良心的な催行会社だろうと思いました(油代、飲料費、お菓子など費用は使っているのに・・・。）私たちは次のスケジュールもあり再挑戦を今回は出来ませんが何時かは分かりませんがもしチャンスがあればそれまでお預けです。ベルトラさん、催行会社のイルカ・ハワイ社にいい体験が出来、感謝しております。

ハワイ島　シュノーケルクルーズ　SUP体験もできる充実ツアー！貸し切りプランあり＜午前／朝食・昼食付き＞ by フラカイ号

Relaxing Cruise & Snorkeling 気楽にクルーズ＆シュノーケル

Reviewed by: eco

We were the only Japanese people with an English guide. I communicated to our guide, Emi, in English that I didn't understand the language and needed support before boarding. Throughout the trip, she frequently checked in on our health and meal preferences, which made us feel at ease. It was unfortunate that there were guides in the Captain Cook area that I couldn't understand due to the language barrier. However, I was able to enjoy snorkeling at my own pace and had a meaningful experience seeing various fish and corals in two different locations. The meals were served buffet-style, and the hamburger patties were grilled live! The location and delicious aroma were fantastic, and the food was very tasty. Breakfast is provided, but since we gathered at 9 AM and arrived at the first point after departure, I felt a bit nauseous from hunger... In fact, one guest had to return to the port and disembark before heading to the second point due to feeling unwell after entering the water. It might be better for participants to have a little something in their stomachs beforehand.

My mother, who is not fond of water, stayed on the boat the whole time, but she seemed captivated and said, "If they lend out floatation devices in places like this, I think I’ll try going into the sea next time." Emi's voice was very pleasant, making the cruise enjoyable. Since we were staying at the Sheraton Kona, it was also great that we could walk to the meeting point.

英語ガイドで日本人は我々だけ。ガイドのエミさんに「英語がわからないのでサポートをお願いします」とだけ英語で伝えて乗船。 全体にこまめに体調や食事の様子を伺いに声かけしてくださるので、安心して参加できました。キャプテンクックエリアのガイドなどがあったようですが、それが言葉の壁により理解できなかったのが残念。でも、シュノーケルも自分のペースで自由に楽しめるし、二箇所でさまざまな魚やサンゴを観ることができて有意義でした。食事はブッフェ形式。ハンバーガー用のハンバーグはライブグリル！ロケーションと美味しい匂いが最高！とても美味しかったです。朝食は出ますが、9時集合、出航後第1ポイントに着いてからなので、空腹で酔いそうに・・・実際、一度海に入り体調を崩して第2ポイントに向かう前に帰港し下船されたゲストが1名おられました。少しお腹に詰めてから参加される方が良いかもしれまん。
水が苦手な母はずっと船上でしたが、「こういう所で浮き具も貸してもらえるなら次は海に入ってみようと思う。」と海中を実際に見てみたいと魅了されたようです。ガイドのエミさんの声も大変耳心地よく気持ちよくクルーズできました。
シェラトンコナに宿泊していたので、徒歩で集合場所まで行けたのも良かったです。

I was thrilled by the number of manta rays, which exceeded my expectations! 予想以上のマンタの数に感激！

Reviewed by: ii-chanz

First of all, it was very good. There is no doubt about that. Additionally, the snorkeling mask and wetsuit were both well-sized and of good quality and condition. When I participate in snorkeling abroad, I often receive large masks meant for foreigners that don't fit my face, leading to unpleasant experiences with seawater getting in. So, I brought my own, but my husband's borrowed one was much better and suitable for seeing manta rays. This allows for a worry-free experience. However, unfortunately, Japanese participants went in first, which caused their bodies to cool down quickly, and my husband ended up being the last to get back on the boat, unable to stop shivering. That was the most disappointing part.

まずは、とても良かったです。それは間違いありません。
それと、シュノーケリング用のマスクもウェットスーツも、きちんとサイズのあった物を選んでくれて、質も状態も良いものでした。
私は海外でのシュノーケリングに参加すると、顔のサイズに合わない外人向けの大きいマスクを渡され、何度も海水が入る嫌な思いをしたので自分用のを持っていったのですが、主人の借りた物の方がとてもよくて、マンタを見るのに適していました。これは、安心して参加して頂けます。
ただ、残念なことに。日本人が先に入ったのですが、そうすると体が冷えるのが早くなるのに、ボートに上がるのが最後になり、主人は体の震えが止まりませんでした。それが一番残念なことです。

To acclimate to the high altitude, we took two breaks that included meals, and on the way to the summit, we could see Mauna Loa from the car window, which was breathtaking!

Once we reached the summit, we took a commemorative photo with the sunset in the background. Unfortunately, there were some clouds that day, so the sunset wasn't as impressive, but when we descended a bit to the stargazing point, the night sky was beautifully clear. The guide explained about the stars, and I was delighted to see my birth month constellation.

We also saw artificial satellites, shooting stars, and through a telescope, we were able to view Jupiter and its four moons. I felt secure as we had warm clothing, including a jacket, pants, and gloves. It was a fantastic experience!

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

Amazing! 最高！

Reviewed by: ひろみ

My first time on the Big Island and my first nature tour started with a lot of uncertainty, but my worries quickly disappeared, and I was overwhelmed with emotion! As soon as we began climbing Mauna Kea, we encountered beautiful rainbows at three different spots. We took regular breaks to acclimate our bodies and had an early dinner. The miso soup was a blessing. Everyone wore highly effective cold-weather gear as we made our way to the summit. The air was thin, so we took deep, long breaths one at a time. The breathtaking sunset was truly overwhelming. After about an hour of waiting, excited by the increasing number of stars, I saw a multitude of stars I had never seen before, each twinkling felt so close. The telescope showed us the bands of Jupiter and four planets clearly! The lecture about constellations and the movement of stars was easy to understand and great. On the way back, I became so sleepy that I nearly fell asleep until we arrived, but they kindly dropped me off at the entrance of my accommodation, providing excellent service until the very end. Thanks to the attentive care from our two guides, this tour filled with first-time experiences became a fun and worry-free time that flew by.

初めてのハワイ島、初めてのネイチャーツアー、わからないことだらけで出発しましたが、もう心配なんてすぐに吹っ飛び、感動の連続！マウナケアに登り始めてすぐ、３か所で美しい虹に出会えました。休憩をこまめに取りながら、体を慣らして、早めの夕食。お味噌汁がありがたい。防寒効果の高いウエアを全員が身に着けて山頂へ。空気が薄いので、ひと呼吸ずつ深く長く。で、ゆっくりと沈む美しいサンセセットに圧倒的感動。少しずつ増える星の数にワクワクしながら待つこと１時間ほどで、見たことのない星の数、一つ一つの輝きがとても近くに感じる。望遠鏡で見せてくれた木星の筋と惑星４つまでくっきり！星座についてのレクチャー、星の動き、わかりやすくてよかった。帰りは我慢できないほど眠くなったので、到着までほぼ爆睡してしまいましたが、宿泊先の入り口まで送っていただき、最後の最後まで至れり尽くせり。ガイドのお二人、細やかにケアしていただいたおかげで、初めてづくしのツアーで安心して楽しいあっという間の時間になりました。

Great Morning

Reviewed by: Vincent

Boat is well kitted out with good gear. Staff are on hand to help and provide support if required. Breakfast and lunch were perfect for a morning on the water. Even got to try paddle boarding without having to pay extra for hire

My family and I greatly enjoyed this experience! Even my in laws who just stayed on the boat and watched from above enjoyed the view. These creatures are majestic and beautiful! We saw 8 rays and almost all of them got within a foot of me! I would recommend doing this activity for anyone just remember to take motion sickness meds as sometimes the water is choppy....

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＞　

My first experience in a submarine was deeper than I had imagined. It was truly moving, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to experience it. 初めての潜水艦体験、こんなに深く潜るとは想像以上でした。なにせ、感動、感動、体験して良かったです。

Reviewed by: ノブオジージ

Every year during New Year's, I go to the Big Island (Waikoloa) and Oahu. My wife and I had our first submarine experience, and I couldn't believe we were diving more than 17 to 20 meters underwater. It was moving to see the ocean floor, coral reefs, various fish, and turtles. It was a wonderful experience.

There are four departures a day, but we chose the morning course with explanations and guidance in Japanese. Although the voice was a bit hard to hear, I was glad we chose the Japanese guidance. However, I was at the Atlantis office, and the explanations for the pier and boarding area were very unclear. I think it would have been better if there were signs or something similar.

毎年正月はハワイ島（ワイコロア）とオアフ島に行きます。妻と二人、初めての潜水艦体験で、海の中１７、２０メーター以上潜るとは信じられませんでした。海底、珊瑚礁、いろいろな魚、亀を見られたときは感動、感動。
素晴らしい体験でした。
１日４便ありますが、私たちは、午前中の日本語での説明、案内のコースを選びました。声が少々聞き取りにくかったですが、日本語での案内を選んで良かったと思いました。
ただ、アトランティスの事務所にいたのですが、桟橋と乗り場の説明がとてもわかりにくかったです。案内板等があれば良かったと思います。

グラスボトムボートクルーズ ＜カイルアコナ発・英語ガイド＞

A tour where even small children can have a great time and easily enjoy the bright sea! 小さな子供も大喜び、明るい海を手軽に楽しめるツアー！

Reviewed by: エルモ

I was looking for activities that even a one-year-old child could enjoy, and this was perfect for us! The colorful fish were clearly visible through the beautiful glass bottom of the boat, and luckily, we even encountered a pod of dolphins. The dolphins came right up next to the boat, which was so much fun.

The guide was very knowledgeable about the fish and was a wonderful person with a great sense of service. The explanations were in English, so those who understand English will enjoy it more, but even if you don't understand, the beauty of the sea itself means you won't be disappointed.

The boat ride lasts about an hour. The sea was calm, and the boat didn't rock, but since you tend to look down at the glass bottom, I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to seasickness to take some motion sickness medication. The meeting point was easy to find, and I think you'll spot the boat with the blue and yellow flags right away.

I definitely want to use this service again next time!

１歳の子供でも楽しめるアクティビティを探していたのですが、こちらはそんな私たちにぴったりでした！
カラフルな魚が、キレイなボートのグラス越しによく見えますし、ラッキーなことに、イルカの群にも遭遇できました。イルカたちは、ボートのすぐ側まで来てくれてとても楽しかったです。
ガイドさんは魚の知識が豊富で、サービス精神の溢れた素敵な方でした。説明は英語なので、英語が分かる方が楽しめますが、仮に分からなかったとしても海そのものが美しいので困るということはないと思います。
乗船時間は１時間ほどです。海は穏やかで船は揺れませんでしたが、うつむいて船底のガラスを眺めるので、船に酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲まれた方がいいと思います。集合場所もわかりやすく、青と黄色の旗をつけたボートをすぐに見つけられると思います。
また次回も利用したいと思います！

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

The sunset and the starry sky were both amazing. サンセットも星空も最高でした

Reviewed by: Yama

They provide winter clothing, so you don't need to bring your own. After having a meal at the Onizuka Visitor Center, we took a four-wheel drive vehicle to the summit. I felt a bit unwell after running a little at the Onizuka Visitor Center, so it was tough for a while after reaching the top. Let's all try not to run.

The weather was clear on the day, and the views of the observatories from various countries, the sea of clouds, and the sunset were all amazing. For stargazing, they used a powerful laser pointer to explain the constellations, which made it easy to understand.

It's the best activity!

防寒用の衣類は貸してくれますので、持参しなくても大丈夫です。オニヅカ・ビジターセンターで食事を摂ってから4輪駆動車で頂上まで上がります。オニヅカ・ビジターセンターで少し走ってしまったため、頂上到着後、しばらく辛かったです。皆さん、走らないようにしましょう。
当日は晴天で、各国の天文台の眺め、雲海、サンセットの眺めも最高でした。星空観測も、強力なレーザーポインターを使って星座の説明をしてくれたので、よくわかりました。
最高のアクティビティです。
