AMAZING!!!

My husband and I had so much fun parasailing. It was so great to be so high up. The people were great and put my nervous husband at ease. We will definitely go again next time we're in Kona.

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

シュノーケリング体験

Reviewed by: miya, 2012/07/29

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。

スリル満点アクティビティ！

初めてのパラセイリングでした。
早朝の中距離のコースを申し込み、当日集合場所に行ってみると私たち夫婦のみの参加で、ゴールデンウィーク期間にも関わらず待ち時間なくスムーズにパラセイリング体験が出来ました★
宙に浮いていることが少し怖かったのですが、人生で一度は経験することをオススメします。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Dinner - Hawaii Forest & Trail

Expensive-drive if you can

Reviewed by: MEFDenver, 2012/07/23

My husband and I have driven in the mountains for 40 plus years but booked this because we were led to believe it was difficult to get a permit to go up to Mauna Kea Summit in a private vehicle. If you are used to altitude and drive in the mountains, don't pay for this. The meal was only so-so though I realize if you are not used to living at altitude you don't want a heavy meal when you do the ascent as you do not have the extra red blood cells most of us who live at 6,000+ feet carry. The guide was okay but on the highway he drove way too slow. It really was not worth the price to us. It would be great if it was the only way you would be at the summit as seeing the sunset there was awesome. Our driver led us to believe that rental car companies would not allow you to drive a rental car up it. But, when we returned our car to the airport to leave we found out that was not the case (at least with our company). There is part of the road that is unpaved but it was graded and r

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＞

迫力満点!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望, 2012/07/21

すっごい迫力です。
体にぶつかるほど近くまで来ます。
べろ~んと目の前で何度も何度も旋回!
4~5枚のマンタが代わる代わる何度も来ました。

ライトに集まるプランクトンを食べに来るのですが、プランクトン自体も意識して見たのは初めてだったのでとても新鮮でした。

集合はコナショッピングセンターの事務所。
そこでチェックインします。
日本語を話せるスタッフはいません。
ウェットスーツの案内は特にしてくれませんでしたが隣の部屋にスタッフがいて、そこで貸してくれます。
7月に参加しましたが、夜の海は少し寒くウェットは着用するべきだと思います。
日本人は特に寒がりなので。

ウェットを借りたら、シェラトンの先にあるハーバーまで各自で移動します。
レンタカーがあると楽です。
事務所のスタッフに頼めばタクシーを呼んでくれます。
シャトルでの移動も考えましたが、時間が合いませんでした。

ハーバーに着き船に乗り込むと、夕陽を眺めながらのクルーズ、暗くなったらいよいよマンタを見に海へ入ります。
棒につかまりプランクトンを食べに来るマンタを待ちます。
しばらくすると、大きなマンタが1枚、2枚!!
4~5枚来ました。
口の中もバッチリ見ることが出来ました。

あまり観ることが出来ない日もあるようですが、私たちは何度もマンタがやってきて、迫力ある素晴らしい体験が出来ました。
すべて英語対応ですが、勇気があればなんとかなりそうです。
とにかくすごかったです。

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

Amazing Experience

Reviewed by: Christine Noriga, 2012/07/18

We were on our honeymoon and decided that we wanted to go snorkeling for our 1st time so I did research and this just sounded amazing to have a 2 in 1, snorkel & kayak! Kayaking is something that neither of us had done before either. We got there nice & early and all of the staff were very friendly. The adventure on the ocean was real cool too, the view from the ocean was beautiful along the coast. When we parked our kayaks, we snorkeled and the coral reefs were so pretty and the fish were bright colors like you see in magazines, it was awesome! We got out of the water and climbed the lava rocks and explored the tide pools in the immediate area while other people on our tour were still in the water watching sea turtles. We were asked if we wanted to climb some rocks & jump off the cliffs and I did it in a heart beat cause it looked like fun and it was. Fresh fruit, snacks & juices were provided to us by our guide Samantha I think was her name(if not something with an S). She was absol

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

Great Views from the Water

Reviewed by: Missing Hawai'i All Ready, 2012/07/14

My family of 6 really enjoyed the kayak and snorkeling trip on the Big Island. The guides were extremely friendly, informative, and supportive. We had a couple of stops on the trip out, where we learned more about the island and its history. The snorkeling was great. It also provided a sense of how deep the water was, which made jumping off the cliff much easier. The guides provided plenty of refreshments, which made the trip back a little easier. Kayaking does require physical activity, so be prepared and drink water (which they will provide).

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＞

寒いよ～

Reviewed by: 匿名希望, 2012/07/09

夫婦+6歳児（年長）での参加でした。

ちゃんと見られました！
10匹弱いたと思います。やっぱ水族館とは違いますよ！
幻想的ですが、真っ暗でちょっと恐怖感を感じる人もいるかもしれませんね。

下向きのライトが付いたイカダに掴まってマンタを待ちます。
うつ伏せで足をフローターに乗せて浮かんでいられるのでキックや立ち泳ぎすることもなく楽ちんです。

一番明るい場所に寄ってきているようでした。別のツアーイカダやダイバーの方が明るかったのであまり近くには来てくれませんでしたが十分楽しめました。

子供はまだ泳げないので持参した空気を入れて使うジャケットを装着して入りました。基本的にジャケットは使用しないようなので必要な方は言わないと出てこないと思います。

それとかなり寒いです。
寒さに強い印象の白人さんもかなり寒がってました。
ウエット二枚重ねると暖かいのでレンタルの時に二枚借りられるか聞いてみるといいかもしれません。

防水の動画が撮れるコンデジがあるといいと思います。
静止画はどでかいカメラじゃないと無理ですね。

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

lei greeting arrival

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/06/20

Having grown up in the islands, receiving a flower lei was a custom I was used to. This being my partners first trip to the islands...it was an added treat! He is a great lover of flora and fauna and the lei greeting was a perfect start to his memorial 1st trip.

I am sure we will return again someday, and hope to make the lei greeting a part of those plans too.

Oh, it was a total surprise for him, and he was well pleased! Our service was prompt and our greeter very friendly (as we found everyone on the island)!

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

Great staff!

Reviewed by: bigislandgurl, 2012/06/19

Felt like a tourist but I got to do things I never did before like jump off that high cliff and kayak on my own. It was a LOT of work for me. If you've never done it, go with a double kayak. It's a little easier. The sea caves were non-existent. We only got 2 feet near a small little opening in the rock. The snorkeling was good. I rated the trip 4 stars only because of our guide who was really understanding and encouraging when it came to handling the fact that my daughter's boyfriend could not swim. It was because of our guide, I think his name is Brent, that John became daring enough to snorkel off the kayak and get help getting onto the rocks where he was able to relax a little and enjoy the snacks. The jump off the cliff is scary but fun to brag about afterwards. It was worth it for the experience of paddling a kayak on the open ocean but thank heaven the water wasn't rough when we went!

ハワイ島　オーシャンラフティング＆溶岩洞窟アドベンチャー　ケアラケクア湾シュノーケル
参加しました。

集合場所が不安でしたが、わかりやすい場所です。

受付もスムーズに行えました。
特に更衣室などは無いようなので、水着は着用しておくほうがいいようです。

１０人乗り程度のゴムボードですが、安定感はあり恐くはありません。

ガイドの方は英語オンリーですが、フレンドリーな対応で
英語が苦手な私たちにも　身振り手振りを交え、一生懸命
説明をしてくれて好感がもてました。

スピーディーにハワイの海原を疾走するのは　かなり気持ちいいです。
フロント側に座れたので、スピード感が楽しめラッキーでした。

途中には、クジラの群れに遭遇できました。
毎回、出会えるわけではないようなので、かなりお得な体験でした。
かなり近くまで子クジラが近づいてきて可愛かったです。

ほかにもイルカが遊んでる様子やウミガメも見れました。

シュノーケルは、ほかの方も書き込みしていますが、透明度の高い海は最高です。
手が届く近さにトロピカルフィッシュが群れています。

ほかのツアー参加者はシュノーケルグッズ持ち込んだりしていました。　
神経質な方は用意していったほうが良いです。
泳ぎが不安な方はベストも借りるとより楽しめますので遠慮せずに借りることを薦めます。

ガイドが近くで見ているので、比較的安全にハワイの海を楽しめますので　お勧めのツアーです。

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＞

雨でも大満足のルアウショー！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望, 2012/06/07

旅のメインと楽しみにしていたのに生憎の大雨。


通常はキングカメハメハがボートに乗ってやってくるパフォーマンスと星空の下でのディナーショーなのですが、急きょ室内でのショーに変更になりました。


セッティングのためホテルロビーにて１時間ほど待たされたのですが、その間も客を飽きさせないようＭＣの方が冗談を飛ばしたりウクレレ演奏があったり。ほかの外国人観光客たちとの立ち話もいい思い出となりました。


ホテル内の宴会場のような場所に移動して、ショーの開始。
歌や踊りのパフォーマンス、観客を巻き込んでのチークダンスタイムなど素敵な演出が盛りだくさんで大満足でした。


料理はハワイの伝統食がメイン。ボリューム満点で好みは分かれるかとも思いますが、私は美味しく頂きました。


フラレッスンなどの参加型アクティビティも十分楽しめたのですが、やはりホテルの廊下では少し狭く、空の下、芝生の上でやりたかったなあという印象。しかし次こそは天候に恵まれた日にまたぜひ参加したい！と思える充実したショープログラムでした。



「一度目のHawaiiのひとは初めまして、
　二度目のひとは友達（aikane）、
三度目以上の人はみんな家族（ohana）」
という言葉に心がほっこりしたのをよく覚えています♪

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

Fun, food, and educational!

Reviewed by: Mumsie2U, 2012/06/03

We booked this cruise in particular because it was wheelchair accessible. We were traveling with a friend who is in a wheelchair and we wanted to be able to get her out on the ocean. The crew was fantastic! The ramp was easy and we sat in the front of the boat.
On this cruise to Ke'alakekua, not only was there a wonderful bartender, but also a fabulous array of appetizers and a yummy dinner. AND there was a historian, named Boyd, who was able to tell us the history of the areas we were cruising by. Kudos to Boyd! IN ADDITION to all of this, we were suprised to find out the crew had fishing lines out and caught three large fish! Very exciting for us and also the crew.
This is just a great company with a great crew wo do hospitality right. Loved it all!

Oceanfront Royal Kona Luau with Open Bar - Voyagers of the Pacific Show

Great Luau

Reviewed by: RonW, 2012/06/03

Since I booked the Royal Kona Luau online in January 2012, I expected that my seating would have been closer to the stage. Those who book the earliest deserve to have better seating. To me, that would be fair.

The setting for the luau was ideal with ocean waves as a backdrop and the view of a perfect Pacific sunset. Master of Ceremonies and hula dancers were very entertaining.

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＞

楽しかった

Reviewed by: kanahashizume, 2012/06/02

ツアー前日に確認の電話をしましたが、全く英語が話せない私達にはチンプンカンプンで、双方困ってしまいました…
が、まぁなんとかなるもので、集合場所に行くと温かく迎えて頂け、無事に出発出来ました！
私達は4歳の子連れでしたが、海やプールなどで泳ぐ事が大好きな子どもなので、ボートから直接海に入る事に抵抗もない様子で楽しめたみたいです。でも、珊瑚の上には立てないので、泳げない方が付き添いだときついと思います。

ビート板や細長い浮きは貸していただけましたが、親としては泳げない子どもを連れて泳ぐのは凄く気を使いました。
なので、子どもも参加は出来るし、楽しめるとは思いますが、一人で泳げるようになってからの参加をお勧めします。

昼食のサンドイッチやフルーツ、お菓子もおいしかったです。
食事にはとても満足しています。

私達が行った日は赤ちゃんイルカがジャンプして遊んでいる姿も見ることが出来ました！

魚は大きなのが沢山いました！
グアムなどの海にいる小さな魚を思い浮かべていましたが、全然違いました！
娘は『水族館の中で泳いでいるみたい！』と喜んでいました。
スタッフさんが、早めにボートに戻った私達の為にウニやナマコを取ってきて下さり、触って楽しんだりも出来ました！


英語ばかりでほとんどの話は分かりませんが、スタッフさんや参加者の皆さんは良い方ばかりなので十分楽しめるツアーだと思います。
