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>

きれいな海とたくさんの生き物に感動です!

Reviewed by: hua zi, 2015/01/24

1月9日、友人と二人でキャプテンゾディアックのツアーに参加しました。外国人16人に対して日本人は私達2人で、しかも日本語ガイドはないと事前に聞いていて不安だったのですが、日本語の説明書を準備してくれていて、ゆっくりしゃべってくれたりしたので、問題なく参加できました。
ケアラケクア湾までボートで行ったのですが、すごいスピードで進むので、ボートから飛ばされそうで初めは怖かったですが、だんだん楽しくなりました。以前コメントに、ラフティングと書いてあるがそんなにスリルはなかったと書いてあったので、なめていたなと思うぐらいスリルがあり楽しかったです。しかも、途中で親子クジラの姿やその尾びれも見れてすごくラッキーでした。
シュノーケリングでは珊瑚がすごく綺麗で、魚も人に慣れているのか近くまで寄っても逃げず、じっくり観察できました。シュノーケリングの時間を多く取ってくれているので、疲れて一度ボートに上がって休憩した後、もう一度海に入ることができ、ゆっくり楽しめました。ただ私達は前日にシュノーケリングを経験していたので問題なかったですが、初めての人だと説明が全て英語なので、その点が少し不安かなと感じました。でもキャプテンがすごく優しく、色々と身振り手振りでしてくれるので、大丈夫な気もします。
洞窟体験では洞窟近くにボートに近づいて、洞窟について説明してくれるという感じだったので、洞窟探検かな?という印象でした。でも帰りにイルカの群れや海亀に会えて、大満足の内容でした。
日本では体験できないようなアクティビティだと思うので、ハワイ島に来たらぜひ参加することをお勧めします!

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ <12~3月/午前/軽食付き/ワイコロアまたはカワイハエ港発>

ざとうくじらの姿に興奮

Reviewed by: Kamerin, 2015/01/19

最終日に参加しました。
午前中にふねにのりましたが、海外からの方が多くクジラが出てくると
のりのりで『イエ〜〜〜〜〜〜イ!!」
私の行った年末年始はまだ序の口のようですがこの後3月くらいまでハワイではザトウくじらが散乱の為に南下してきますからよく見えます。
見張り役の方々とキャプテンがあの辺り!火事を進めて行くと2匹親子で、雄のみなど様々な形態で
潮を吹き尻尾を見せて潜ったり・・・・最後の方は船を追いかけてくぐって行きました。
こんな体験はなかなか出来ませんが、船酔いする方は注意してくださいね

Hawaii Lifeguard Surf Instructors - Kona Private & Semi-Private Surfing Lessons

awesome place to learn to surf!

Reviewed by: hkr, 2015/01/18

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We had a brief lesson in the classroom where the lady that checked us in gave us a brief history of their operations and then explained the does and don'ts of surfing. We practiced the three steps to stand up a few times in the classroom then sent us to the beach that's an easy 4mi straight down alii dr. Just as we left, the other couple that was supposed to be in our group arrived (a half hour late). The instructor was very friendly to them even though the girl was acting like being late was somehow the instructors fault. We went to the beach where we met the water instructors and waited for the other couple to finish the classroom session. The instructors were super friendly and answered any questions we could think to ask them. When the other couple arrived, the fun began. There was only one couple per instructor, and they had us standing within minutes! They also made sure we got a full 2 hours of water time (and maybe a smidge extra) despite the other couple's delay. Great experience, highly recomend!

Ocean Encounters Manta Ray Snorkel Tour - Sunset & Moonlight Cruise from Kona

Saw A Manta Ray!

Reviewed by: Erin, 2015/01/12

You can't help mother nature -- we only saw one manta ray during our tour and the water was really choppy. The captain and crew were friendly, but had us wait for some other people that didn't show. I also don't feel they connected with us as a group, which was unfortunate.

Hawaii Lifeguard Surf Instructors - Kona Private & Semi-Private Surfing Lessons

TWO THUMBS UP for Lifeguard Surf Instructors

Reviewed by: Michael, 2015/01/10

Our family of six (6) spent ten days on the Big Island. On Friday morning, one of our three boys told us how cool it would be to learn how to surf. That was all the incentive his mother needed to commence her Google search for the best firm to school her three sons (ages 22, 26 and 29) on surfing. She started calling on Friday morning at 8:00 o’clock with all of the places informing her that it would be Monday before they would have a spot for the three boys. The lone exception was Life Guard Surf Instructors. This family owned surf instruction firm took the information about our three (3) sons and arranged to have another instructor come in to give our sons a group lesson, which occurred within three (3) hours of when we initially called.

When we arrived they receive a thorough briefing about what was in store for everyone when they got into the water. This was extremely important since one of our sons has some learning difficulties and is very uncomfortable if there are things that he will be expected to do and he is not warned about them in advance. When we reached the place where the water instruction was to take place, to our surprise, our son who has the learning difficulty was given one on one instruction from one of the Owner family members. He thoroughly enjoyed himself. Our other sons also had a great time. We would highly recommend Life Guard Surf Instructors to everyone who wants their children to be instructed by highly trained and caring instructors.

Run by Robert's Hawaii this airport pick up and drop off service was terrific. Both trips were confirmed by telephone the day prior. On arrival at Kona the driver was waiting--even bearing a shell lei to greet me. This was also a very cost effective way of getting to and from the airport as taxis are quite expensive. I highly recommend if you don't want to rent a car while on the island. Both drivers were total sweethearts as well. Big Mahola.

Great Experience

Reviewed by: DG from Mill Valley, 2014/12/30

I have been to Hawaii many times, but never needed shuttle transportation. I was hesitant to use a shuttle service, but decided to give it a try based on reviews from others. The experience exceeded my expectations. There was a greeter at the baggage claim and my shuttle arrived quickly to take me to my hotel. It was very pleasant, efficient and reasonable priced. I will use them again the next time I need a shuttle.

Hawaii Lifeguard Surf Instructors - Kona Private & Semi-Private Surfing Lessons

So much fun!

Reviewed by: Sarah and Marc, 2014/12/26

Marc and I have never surfed before, so we were slightly scaptical of how much you could learn in 45min theory and one hour in the water. As it turned out, it was totally enough to get the basics and make you feel exhausted (you will be sore the next day, but it is really worth it!). The teachers are awesome, they are very encouraging and positive. It is a really great hawaiian family run company - they just have the natural aloha attitude.They help you picking the right waves and show you how to stand up on the board right away. Of course you will also fall in the water, but eveyone does, so it is just so much fun! We recommend taking a surf lesson with them 100% and would do it again immeadiatly!

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

A lifetime Experience!

Reviewed by: Daniel, 2014/12/07

Whilst reading this activity when planning my vacation to Hawaii I knew that going to the summit and doing some stargazing would be something not to be missed. I'm glad it did not disappoint! The sunset atop Mauna Kea is amazing with only clouds below us, and we were able to view a great deal of objects in the night sky. It does definitely get chilly up there, and even though they supply Parkas and gloves be sure to wear some heavy pants and thick covered in shoes (lest your toes succumb to frostbite!) I have recommended this tour to friends whom I know will be going to Hawaii in the next few years.

Reviewed by: S&A, 2014/12/04

まず食事はあまり期待しないほうがいいかと思います。
また、私たち夫婦は二人共あまり英語がわからなかったので、司会の人が話されていることは全然理解できず、会場内のノリについていけませんでした。
また、後日ディナークルーズに乗船した際、同じような内容のショーがあったのでもし両方参加を検討されているようでしたら必要ないかと思います。
また、ホテルによっては同じようなショーが隔日くらいのペースで開催されているところも多いので、わざわざ見に行かなくても通りがかり程度で雰囲気は味わえるかもしれません。

Reviewed by: masa, 2014/12/02

最初は、とても怖くてできないと思っていました。でも。ペアで飛ぶことができるので、思い切って参加しました。参加したのは、アメリカのご夫婦と10代の娘さんの5人でした。日本語が通じないので、はじめに3人がパラセーリングをしました。そのやり方の説明を見ながら、自分たちの番を待ちました。いよいよ、私たちの番です。見よう見まねで何とか飛び上がりました。見る見るうちに舞い上がり、上空からカイルア・コナの街を見ました。いつも車で走っているアリイ・ドライブ沿いのホテルが見えました。鳥になったようでとても気持ちが良かったです。上がるまでは、とても怖かったですが、上がってしまったらとても楽しくて、最高の気分でした。夫婦一緒にでき、上空でも話をできるのが良かったです。機会があればもう一度やってもいいなぁと思います。

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>

マンタを見にハワイ島へ

Reviewed by: Shoko, 2014/11/30

ハワイ諸島を巡るクルーズで初めてコナに行った時は時間がなく泣く泣く諦めた野生マンタ。ダイバーの今回はマンタを見るためにKeauhouにあるシェラトンホテルのオーシャンビューにステイ。集合場所がホテルの直ぐ側で徒歩5分と便利でした。
ダイビングがいいのかシュノーケリングが良いか迷いましたが、シュノーケリングにして大正解でした。但し、マンタが怖がるのでフィンは使用禁止、ボートから海に入るときには足に引っ掛けるヌードルと呼ばれるフローターを足に付けるように指示されるので、実際には左手でボートに繋がっている照明付きのアルミ製のバーに掴まって右手で動画を撮るといった感じです。照明で集まったプランクトンを回転しながら飲み込んでいくマンタ達は圧巻です。顔スレスレに近づいてきます。あまりに感動的で翌々日にもう1回!ダイバー憧れのマンタにこんな至近距離でお目にかかれるとは感激です。写真は照明があっても暗くマンタは動いているのでなかなか上手に撮れませんでしたが動画はバッチリでした。シーパラダイスのスタッフもフレンドリーで楽しさを倍増させてくれました。シーパラダイスのオフィスはKeauhou ショッピングセンター内のスーパーマーケット付近にあります。朝7時からオープンしてるので朝食を食べた帰りに立ち寄りクーポンを渡したので4時に電話する必要もなくウェットスーツを借りて帰りました。その他必要なギア等はボートに乗ってから渡されます。
11月でしたが全く寒くなく、マンタのサイトから港までほんの5分くらいでした。船着場にあるレストランのトイレで着替えて食事をしました。次回は娘と一緒に行きたいと思っています。

  • ライトに向かって急上昇してきます。

  • 近すぎて全体が入らないという贅沢!
