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> 

First submarine 初めての潜水艦

Reviewed by: NOB

It was a cloudy day... I arrived early and parked the rental car in the hotel parking lot to check in. There was a counter outside the hotel and a store located a bit deeper inside, which was a little confusing. When the time came, I boarded a contact boat with about 20 participants, including several Japanese people, and in a few minutes, we reached the submarine.

We quickly boarded and began our dive... I enjoyed about 40 minutes while watching the coral and the fish swimming around. We dove down to about 100 feet, or 30 meters, but it felt a bit dark, possibly due to the cloudy sky, and I felt a greater distance from the fish than I expected. It might have been more beautiful if it had been sunny.

At the counter, they put a sticker on the parking ticket to cover the fee. When I tried to pay with my card, it didn’t recognize it, and I panicked a bit as several cars lined up behind me, but I called and they opened it for me, so it all worked out.

当日は曇り空…早めに到着しホテルの駐車場にレンタカーを止めて受付。 ホテルの外のカウンターとホテル内の少し奥にある店舗があり、少し戸惑いました。 時間になると日本人数名を含む20名ほどの参加者と共に連絡用の船に乗り込み数分で潜水艦へ。
早速乗り込み潜水開始…サンゴやそこを泳ぐ魚を見ながら40分程楽しみました。100フィート、30メートル程まで潜りましたが、曇り空のせいか若干暗く感じたのと思っていたより魚と距離感を感じました。 晴れていればもっと綺麗だったのかもしれません。
カウンターで駐車券にステッカーを貼ってくれて料金をカバーしてくれます。2ドル足りずにカード支払いしようとしたらカードを認識せず…後ろに数台並び焦りましたが、電話して開けてもらい事なきを得ました。

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

You can see Kilauea! キラウエアが見えるとは!

Reviewed by: また新月狙って来ねば!

I learned a lot of things I didn't know thanks to our guide, Jin's, knowledgeable explanations. The high-altitude clouds and the brightness of the moon made it difficult to see the stars, but I felt that if I climbed a mountain in Japan, I would be able to see a more starry sky. However, we did get to take commemorative photos with the red glow of the lava from Kilauea, which is 100 km away, falling into the sea in the background. The impact is different with a professional camera.

ガイドの仁さんの博学な説明で、知らなかったことを沢山学びました。高層雲がかかったのと、月が明るすぎて星の見え方は今ひとつ、日本でも山に登ればもっと満天の星空が見えるという感じでした。でも、100kmも離れたキラウエアの熔岩が海に落ちる所が赤く光っているのをバックに記念撮影して頂きました。プロのカメラだと迫力が違いますね。

Day Trip from Kona to Oahu - Complete Pearl Harbor Tour with Lunch & Airfare Included

Pearl Harbor Tour.

Reviewed by: William Geisler

Air accommodations were taken care of for us. Flights were good but there was confusion as to when the flights left. Very emotional day. Lots to see. There were 14 in our group. It was difficult to understand when and where we were meeting at different times throughout the day. It wasn't just us, many were confused. Hard to understand the guide. He was very nice. We were not able to see the Arizona Memorial up close because of the safety issue. No one's fault, we understood. We are glad we did take this trip.

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>

Manta is amazing, but be careful of the cold! マンタ最高、寒さに注意!

Reviewed by: じゅん

The boat took off at an incredible speed, and I experienced a thrill that really got my adrenaline pumping. When we arrived at the spot, two manta rays swam right below us, circling for about 45 minutes—it was amazing!
However, don't underestimate the Hawaiian nights!
With wet bodies and the wind from the boat, the temperature dropped as the sun set, making the return trip very cold!
If you're participating, definitely bring something to keep warm!
It was a tour that my 75-year-old mother could also join.

出発してボートはすごいスピードで、スリルを味わい、テンションが、上がりました。ポイント到着して、マンタが2枚がすぐに私たちの下でグルグルと回ってくれて、約45分間最高でしたよ!
でも、夜のハワイを甘くみてはいけない!
濡れた体にボートの風、太陽が沈んで気温も下がり、帰りは非常に寒い!
参加される方は羽織る物を絶対に持って行きましょう!

Even those who were young in the past had a great time. 昔若かった人たちも、とっても楽しみました

Reviewed by: 昔若かった人たち

Two people in their 60s who don't usually exercise. Although I felt relieved to see other participants around the same age, the first time entering the water was tough and terrifying, and I quickly got back on the boat. However, from the second time on, I leaned on a float and drifted around, and with the guide's support, I was able to see many dolphins. It was really fun!

The guide named us after people who were young long ago. I received plenty of support and had a great time, for which I am grateful. The female captain also gave us lots of encouragement.

普段運動してない60代2人。同世代と思われる参加者もあって一安心したものの、1回目の入水は、しんどい、溺れる‥‥恐怖で早々にボートに上がりましたが、2回目からは浮き棒に寄りかかってプカプカと漂い、ガイドさんのフォローを得てイルカさんをたくさん見る事が出来ました。本当に楽しかった!!
昔若かった人達とは、当日のガイドさんからのネーミング。十分フォローして楽しませて頂いて、感謝。女性の船長さんからも沢山沢山エールをいただきました。

Reviewed by: Pinky

I couldn't get through to the reconfirmation phone number, so I searched for the office on Google, but there was no office. A local person informed me that the office was no longer there. I immediately emailed VELTLA, and they took care of it, but the meeting time was also off by 30 minutes on the day of the tour.

However, the tour was absolutely wonderful. I believe kayaking is something you can only experience in Hawaii. I had a very fulfilling time and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the stunning ocean. Thank you very much.

リコンファームの電話がつながらず、オフィスまで行こうをググって探しましたがオフィスは無く、ロコの方にもうそこにあったオフィスは無いですよと教えてもらいました。すぐにVELTLAさんにメールをして対処していただきましたが、当日も待ち合わせ時間が30分違ってました。

Southern Cross and Haleakalā 南十字星とハレアカラ

Reviewed by: K.KEI

On the day of the tour, the weather was great, and we could see the summit of Mauna Kea from the hotel in the morning. I was worried when clouds appeared along the way, but the summit was clear. Mauna Loa and Hualalai were also clearly visible. It was colder than I expected, so I was grateful for the warm clothing I rented. A few days earlier, I had seen Mauna Kea from Haleakalā on Maui, so it was fulfilling to see Haleakalā from Mauna Kea in return. When it got dark, I was able to see the Southern Cross, which I had longed to see during stargazing. The guide provided detailed explanations of constellations like Scorpius, Libra, Virgo, and Cancer, which was very educational. I appreciated the guide's stories and attentiveness. It was a very good tour.

当日は朝からマウナケア山頂がホテルから見える良い天気。
途中、雲が出て心配したが山頂は快晴。
マウナロア、フアラライもくっきりと見渡せる。

Manta's somersault マンタの宙返り

Reviewed by: みなっち

This was my first experience like this. Being rocked by the boat while watching the sunset and heading to a spot where manta rays are found was incredible. As it got darker and the sun set, I was a bit worried about the scary dark color of the sea, but when we arrived at the manta ray spot, there were many other tour boats with lights, so it was fine. Once we got into the water, after a while, the manta rays came and performed flips right next to us, providing an amazing experience. I definitely want to go see the manta rays again.

こんな体験は初めてです。船にゆられて、夕日を見ながらマンタのいる場所まで行くなんて。だんだん暗くなって夕日が落ちると怖い暗い海の色にちょっと心配でしたが、マンタの場所に来ると他のツアーの船も一杯で明かりもあったので大丈夫でした。そして海に入ると暫くしたら、マンタがやってきて何度も何度もスレスレに宙返りをしながらサービス満点でした。またマンタに会いに行きたいと思いました

Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour Adventure on a Hawaiian Sailing Canoe

Unforgettable and once-in-a-lifetime

Reviewed by: Brett

This was an unforgettable once-in-a-a-lifetime experience! Definitely recommend swimming with the manta rays. It will be one of the most majestic experiences of wildlife you will ever have. A note we were unaware of: it seems essentially all ventures to swim with the mantas leave from a similar dock area and set anchor at essentially the same spot in the water--which is just a few hundred yards out from the dock.

The manta ray tour on the Big Island of Hawaii is fun! ハワイ島マンタツアーは楽しい!

Reviewed by: マジシャンK

I was moved when I saw the manta ray right in front of me. However, holding onto the glass boat and floating in the sea for a long time was quite tiring. It gets pretty cold at night. It's definitely better to rent a wetsuit, and when you return to the boat and take off the wetsuit, it gets quite chilly, so having a 100 yen store raincoat or a Uniqlo down jacket would be helpful.

マンタを目の前で見たときは感動しました。ただ、グラスボートにつかまって
ずっと海に浮いてるのも結構疲れた。夜なので結構寒いです。ウエットスーツは必ず借りた方が良いし船に戻ってウエットスーツを脱ぐとかなり冷えるので

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise

Interesting but very commercial

Reviewed by: Mic

It was great seeing these amazing creatures but this is not so much a see the great manta ray in nature as much as it is a highly commercialized, 'we've figured out how to give you a manta-ray petting zoo experience'. They boat you out, extend a floating ladder with lights (to attract plankton), and then have you float and hold onto the ladder as the rays swim below you. They do come very close to you (and may brush against you) as they eat the plankton. Pretty neat for the first several passes but since you are surrounded by other boats doing the same thing with their own floating ladder-like structures the rays will spend their time with whomever has the brightest lights. After about :30 minutes of this people start getting bored and getting back on the boats. It was fun and interesting and glad we did it but not really "swimming with the rays".

Reply from activity provider

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We're glad you found it fun. Being stationary at the surface of the water is the safest way for us to view the rays.

On the day of the tour, the weather was gloomy and I wondered where Mauna Kea was, but when we reached the summit, it was clear, and we were able to enjoy a sunset with beautiful colors. By the time the stars began to appear, the thin clouds above had cleared, providing the best stargazing experience.

It was a tour where I could enjoy the sunset and the starry sky with my eyes, listen to the guide's explanations with my ears, and feel the cold at an altitude of 4,000 meters on my skin.

The guide's explanations and trivia on the way there and back were very helpful. There was a wealth of recommended information about the Big Island, and I wish I had participated in the tour on the first day.

ツアー当日はどんよりした天気でマウナケアはどこに山があるの?な感じでしたが、
山頂まで上がると晴れていて、夕焼け付きのサンセット見させてもらいました。
星空が見え始める頃には、上空にあった薄曇も晴れて最高の星空観察でした。

夕日と星空を目で見て楽しんで、ガイドさんの解説を耳で楽しんで、標高4000mの寒さを肌で感じらことのできるツアーでした。

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

I was able to see many stars and a wonderful sunset. 沢山の星と素晴らしいサンセットを見ることができました。

Reviewed by: mpb

The guide, Herald, was friendly and kept the group energized during the long drive. He shared a lot of local information about Hawaii. If you understand English, I think it's easier to participate than in a Japanese tour.

Although the weather in Kona was nice on the day of the tour, it rained as we got closer to Mauna Kea, and I was worried about the weather at the summit. However, when we arrived at the top, it was above the clouds, so there was no need to worry.

The summit of Mauna Kea was really cold. Even with a light down jacket and four layers underneath, plus a large down jacket they provided, I still felt cold. Despite the warnings about needing a jacket and long pants, some people didn't prepare, and it seemed quite cold, so they ended up spending most of the time on the bus, which was disappointing to see. (So, warm clothing is essential.)

There were parts where we joined other group tours, which made it hard to hear the explanations, and there were often car lights and white lights that are strictly prohibited for stargazing. However, I was able to see shooting stars multiple times, which was moving! I highly recommend it.

とにかくガイドのヘラルドがフレンドリーで、車の長い道のりもグループを盛り上げてくれました。ハワイのローカル情報もたくさん教えてくれました。英語が分かる方なら日本語ツアーより参加しやすいと思います。
当日はコナの天気は良かったもののマウナケアに近づくほど雨で、山頂の天気を心配しましたが、山頂に着くとそこは雲の上で心配無用でした。
マウナケアの山頂は本当に寒かったです。ライトダウンを着て4枚も着込んだ上に貸してくれる大きなダウンを着ても寒かったです。
あれだけ注意事項に上着必須、長ズボンと書いてあっても用意していない人もいて、かなり寒かったらしくバスの中でほとんどを過ごすこととなり、見ていて残念でした。(そのため、防寒具必須です)
ほかの団体ツアーと一緒になる部分もあり、説明が聞き取れなかったり、星を見るには厳禁の車のライトやホワイトライトが行き交うことも多かったですが、流れ星を何度も見ることができ、感動的でした!お勧めです。

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>

The service was terrible. 最悪すぎる対応

Reviewed by: じゅり

I couldn't reconfirm using the phone number written on the voucher. If reconfirmation was necessary, I would have liked to know that before making the reservation. It's quite difficult for those who are not good at English.

On the day of the event, while I was being shown to my seat and went to get a drink, another staff member seated a different customer, which caused us to lose our seats. Again, my limited English made it hard to communicate with the staff. The staff, seeing the situation, called a Japanese staff member to help us explain, and we finally secured a seat, but it was at a different table. The person who originally had that seat was upset. (I couldn't understand what they were saying, but their gestures and tone indicated they were angry.) It seemed that they told the staff, and we ended up staying at that table, feeling quite uncomfortable.

We were looking forward to the show as a couple, but it was very disappointing. Moreover, the food was served by table, and it took a long time for it to come around, so we were almost last. When I went to get food, there was hardly anything left. There were no plates either. We could only get food until the show started, so we barely had anything to eat. I chose this for our last memory on the Big Island, but it turned into the worst memory. The show itself was good.

Please improve communication among staff regarding who was seated where. Well, I won't be using this service again.

とりあえずバウチャーに書かれた電話番号ではリコンファームが出来なかった。
そもそもリコンファームが必要ならば、予約前に分かるようにして欲しかった。英語が苦手な人にはかなり難易度が高い。

開催当日、席に案内され
ドリンクを取りに行ってる間に別のスタッフが別の客を席に通してしまい、私たちの席がなくなってしまった。
またここでも英語が苦手なのでスタッフに上手く伝わらない。スタッフが見かねて日本人スタッフに電話して電話をかわり私たちが説明してようやく席を確保されたが、そこはまた別の人の席で。
元々の席の人には怒られて。(何を言ってるかはよく分かりませんがジェスチャーと口調で怒ってるようでした。)その人がスタッフに言ったようで、私たちはこのままの席になりましたが、肩身の狭い思いをしました。
夫婦で楽しみにしてたショーだったのにもううんざり。
しかも料理はテーブルごとで、中々順番がまわってこずにほぼ最後。
料理を取りに行ったら、料理がほとんどない。皿もない。ショーが始まるまでしか料理は取りに行けないから、私たちはほぼ食べる事が出来ませんでした。
ハワイ島最終日に最後の思い出と選んだのに最悪の思い出になりました。
ショー自体は良かったです。
もっと、誰をどこの席に通したかとか、スタッフ同士で連携してください。
まあ、二度と利用しませんが。

It feels good! 気持ちいい!

Reviewed by: Heidi

I participated with my niece, but surprisingly, the other four were locals. We checked in at the hotel. The boarding area is located at the pier beyond the hotel beach. At the end of the parasailing, they will ask if you want to dip your feet in the sea, but it's just that much, so I don't think you need a large towel. You can place your belongings at the foot of the boat.

It's a total of 10 minutes, but you can enjoy wonderful views and an amazing experience.

私は姪と2人で参加しましたが、なんと他4名は地元の人たちでした。
チェックインをホテルで済ませます。乗り場はホテルのビーチを通り抜けた先の埠頭にあります。
パラセーリングの最後に足を少し海につけるかどうか聞いてくれますが、その程度なのでタオルは大きなものは必要ないと思います。荷物はボートの足元に置くことができます。

トータル10分であっという間ですが素晴らしい景色と体験ができます。

Great

This was perfect to see the whole island. We were very fortunate to see lava. However,
We feel by 8 hrs we were ready to get off the bus and feel that the first hour or so could have been cut out

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 really cold! 本当に寒い!

Reviewed by: ミクちゃんパパ

I prepared for the cold by bringing a hoodie, a rash guard, and slacks, as it was mentioned in advance to dress in layers. I thought it would be just right to receive warm clothing at the 2,800-meter "Onizuka Visitor Center." However, when I reached the summit, it was quite windy and very cold! I borrowed gloves, but it was still chilly. I seriously wished I had a sweater. The view from the top was fantastic, possibly because the air was so clear. The sunset was beautiful. At night, since the moon wasn't out, I was able to observe many stars, and the guide explained the constellations using a laser pointer, which was a lot of fun. I was impressed by the guide's extensive knowledge!

What surprised me was that I could see the "Hubble Space Telescope" flying right above the tour! It became a great memory.

事前に「寒いので重ね着の用意を」と書いてあったので、パーカーとラッシュガード、スラックスを持って行きました。2,800メートルの「オニズカ・ビジターセンター」で防寒着をもらって丁度良いかな?なんて。頂上に着いたら風もあり寒いのなんのって!手袋も借りていましたが寒い。真面目にセーターが欲しかったです。頂上からの景色は空気もきれいなのでしょうかとても良かったです。夕日のきれいでした。夜の星も月が出ていなかったのでたくさん観測することができ、案内の方がレーザーポインターで星座を説明してくれてとても楽しかったです。案内の方の知識の凄いこと!感心しました。
そう!ビックリしたのは「ハッブル宇宙望遠鏡」が丁度ツアーの上を飛んでいるのが見えたことです!良い記念になりました。

  • 分厚い防寒着を借りて。

  • 空気がとてもキレイ!

  • 運良く夕日も見えて。

The best memories! 最高の思い出!

Reviewed by: nao

I fully understood that the weather could affect our plans, but the island tour, including Kilauea, that I had booked the day before was canceled due to the eruption. I prayed to at least see Mauna Kea, and my prayers were answered.

Without suffering from altitude sickness, I witnessed a beautiful sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea. For some reason, I found myself in tears. Then, at a parking lot a little lower down, we enjoyed a starry sky. It was a luxurious time lying down together just to gaze at the stars. Kon-chan's explanations were easy to understand.

It was a perfect night with a sky full of stars, with no moon in sight. It was an experience I will never forget.

天気に左右されることは充分わかっていましたが、前日に予約していたキラウエアを含む島内観光が噴火によりツアー中止になり、マウナケア山だけでもなんとか見たい!の祈りが天に通じました。
高山病になることもなく、マウナケア山頂での美しい夕焼け。なぜか涙が出てしまいました。そして少し降りた駐車場での星空。みんなで寝転んで星空だけを見る贅沢な時間。konちゃんさんの説明わかりやすかったです。
月も出ていない絶好の満天の星空でした。
一生忘れない体験でした。

プライベートチャーター ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング+イルカウォッチングツアー!GoProレンタルあり<午前/日本語ガイド>

An extraordinary dolphin tour!! 桁違いのイルカツアー!!

Reviewed by: nikku

I went directly to the meeting point since I had rented a car. On time, our guide Daisuke arrived. He was amazing!! He claimed to know more about dolphins than anyone else in the world, and he was right.

There were tours for foreigners, and the dolphin spots were crowded, but with his precise guidance, we were able to read the dolphins' movements from the agile boat and dive in!

We were able to see dolphins right in front of us during every dive. I had participated in several tours in Oahu, but this experience was on a completely different level in terms of encounters with dolphins, proximity, and enjoyment.

My middle school daughter was also very satisfied; it was a memorable tour. Thank you, Daisuke. This tour is definitely better than the more famous ones!

レンタカーを借りていたので集合場所に直接行きました。
時間通りにガイドのダイスケさんが来てくれました。
とにかく彼がすごい!!
世界一イルカを知っていると自負していましたが、その通り。
外国人向けのツアーもありイルカのポイントは混雑していましたが
的確な誘導で機動性のある船からイルカの動きを読んでダイブ!

全てのダイブでイルカを目の前に見ることが出来ました。
オアフのツアーでも何度か参加しましたが桁違いのイルカとの遭遇と距離そして楽しさでした。

中学生の娘も大満足思い出に残るツアーでした
ダイスケさんありがとうございました。
名前の有名なツアーより絶対こちら

  • この距離で見れました

  • 30頭くらいの群

  • イルカ待ちのダイスケさん

Thank you for the kind support and consideration from the guide, and especially for the detailed explanation of the constellations under the starry sky. I plan to study stars when I get home. I was truly moved by the Southern Cross!

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise

Seriously glad we did this!

Reviewed by: Sharon

The Sea Paradise crew gave us a great experience, from setting us up with wet suit and snorkel gear to teaching us how to "behave" in the water (#1 rule - Don't touch the Manta Rays, #2 rule - don't pee in the wetsuits - haha! - they provide a bathroom on board), providing drinks and snacks, including hot chocolate which was welcome after the snorkeling. They also made sure we weren't needlessly floating around in the water before the rays showed up, but got us in there in plenty of time to see 4 different rays swimming literally inches below our faces! So cool to see them somersault and glide beneath you. Completely worth the cost! Do this!

Thank you for taking your time to review your manta tour with us. We are happy to know you enjoyed it! Thanks for joining us.
A Hui Hou!

  • Sunset did not disappoint on this Sunset Cruise

  • Sunset with palm trees while leaving the bay

  • The boat was very steady and well equipped. Plenty of room for everyone and their stuff. Also has a bathroom on board!

  • Dropping anchor near the other boats - you have to "share" the rays with the other boats, but they still came to us often. Sorry no pics of rays-they are on my husband's GoPro. But they turned out cool!
