This was my second time participating. Although only English is spoken, they responded politely even with my broken language, which made me feel at ease. My 6-year-old and 8-year-old had a blast sliding down the slide on the boat and jumping off the diving board. The hamburger lunch, with burgers grilled on the boat, was also fantastic. I will definitely participate again when I go to Hawaii Island.
今回は2回目の参加でした。英語しか通じないですが、片言でも丁寧に対応してくれて、安心して参加できます。6歳と8歳の子どもも船の滑り台から滑ったり、飛び込み台からジャンプしたりと大はしゃぎでした。船上で焼いてくれるハンバーガーをはさんでのハンバーガーの昼食も最高です。またハワイ島に行く時は参加します。

One of the highlights of our trip to the Big Island was jumping in the water after dark and watching these enormous, graceful creatures emerge from the blackness, do a few plankton-catching loops and then disappear back into the darkness. Can't recommend it enough!

We participated with our 11-year-old child. The guide took the child's hand and helped with snorkeling, allowing us beginners to enjoy it as well. Since dolphin swimming can be suspended at any time due to regulations, I recommend experiencing it sooner rather than later.
11才の子どもも一緒に参加。ガイドの方が子供の手をとりシュノーケリングをしてくれたので、初心者の我々も楽しむことができました。ドルフィンスイムは法規制でいつ中止になってもおかしくないようなので、早めに体験しておくのがお薦めです。

You're just floating with a snorkel and holding onto a float for 45 minutes. It gets really cold, so it might be tough for those who aren't very fit or for small children. We did get to see manta rays, which was impressive, but we only saw about six in 45 minutes, and the water wasn't very clear either. Since we did see the manta rays, I'll give it three stars.
By the way, the "noodle" refers to the stick-shaped float that is given before entering the water. Haha!
45分シュノーケルを付けて浮き輪につかまって浮いているだけです
すごく冷えるので、体力が無い方や小さい子にはキツイかもしれません
マンタは観れて大迫力でしたが、45分で6匹くらい、、、海もあまり綺麗じゃありませんでした
一応マンタ観れたので、星3です
因みに、ヌードルは海に入る前に渡される棒状の浮き輪の事です笑

Since it’s nature, there are days when you might not see dolphins, but I was able to see them about three times! They were incredibly fast. Additionally, I also got to see a manta ray. My husband said he even heard the dolphins' voices.
Thank you, Nawata, Naoko, and Rei. Since I can’t swim, I was able to see the dolphins thanks to Naoko pulling me toward them. The breeze on the water felt so good. The time flew by. I also really enjoyed the stories about warriors and scary tales with Rei. By the way, Rei was quite handsome! I want to see whales too, so if I can go back to the Big Island, I would love to join this tour again.
自然相手なので日によってはイルカに会えないこともあるということでしたが、なんとか3回ほどイルカを見ることができました!すごいスピードでした。さらにマンタも見ることができました。夫はイルカの声も聞いたそうです。
なわたさん、ナオコさん、レイさんありがとうございました。泳げない私はナオコさんがイルカの方に引っ張って行ってくれたおかげでイルカを見ることができました。海上の風がとにかく気持ち良かったです。あっという間の時間でした。レイさんとの武将や怖い話もとても楽しかったです。とにかくレイさんがイケメンでした笑。クジラも見てみたいので、またハワイ島に行けたらこちらのツアーに参加したいです。

A typhoon was approaching, and the dolphins were somewhat far away, so we had to travel about 45 minutes from the meeting point, which is a distance we rarely go. Thanks to that, we were able to encounter a pod of dolphins. It was very enjoyable to see the dolphins jumping and swimming right in front of us. The guides were all friendly, and the conversations on the way there and back were fun as well. Thank you very much.
台風が近づいていてイルカが多少遠くにいるとの事で、集合地点から約45分と普段では滅多に行かない距離まで移動してくださいました。

About 30 minutes to an hour by boat, we encountered a pod of 100 to 200 dolphins. They were jumping and spinning all around, and I was already moved before even entering the water. Once in the water, I swam a little, and there were so many dolphins swimming right in front of me; it was incredibly touching. They were so close that I felt I could almost reach out and touch them!
Since I was in a wetsuit, I felt safe entering the water as it helped me float. Some people who were not confident swimmers were worried, but in addition to the wetsuits, they provided floatation devices, and the guide pulled the floatation device for them, which made them very happy to see the dolphins up close.
Our guide, Ray, was very engaging and considerate during the trip, making it a comfortable and enjoyable experience. It would be a real shame not to participate in a dolphin tour while visiting the Big Island!
ボートで30分~1時間くらい行ったところに100~200頭のイルカの群れがいました。
あちこちでイルカがジャンプしたりスピンしたりしていて海に入る前から感動でした。
海に入ってからは少し泳ぎますが、すぐ目の前をイルカたちがたくさん泳いでいてとても感動しました。手が届きそうなほど近くでした!
ウエットスーツなので浮くため安心して海に入れました。泳ぎが苦手な方が心配していましたが、ウエットスーツに加えて浮き具も貸してもらえててガイドさんが浮き具を引っ張ってくれたようで、「近くでイルカをみられた」と喜んでいました。
ガイドのレイさんは移動中もいろいろと話をしてくれたり気遣いをしてくれてとても居心地のいい楽しい時間を過ごせました。ハワイ島にきてイルカのツアーに参加しないのはかなりもったいないです!

Before it started, there was a lecture about marine life. The instructor explained in simple English, but since my second grader and kindergartener weren't very familiar with English, they seemed quite confused. I think it would have been better if the explanation was given at a slower pace, perhaps with a picture book or something to show. We managed to get through that time, and then it was off to the Dolphin Lagoon. The dolphins were really smart and interacted in various ways. We could touch their bellies, faces, pectoral fins, and tails, and the photographer was ready to capture each child's best shot. We enjoyed it for over 20 minutes, and the kids were very satisfied. We were also able to freely take videos and photos, and of course, we could purchase the snapshots and image data taken by the staff. I thought it was great that the program was designed specifically for the kids, focusing on their perspective. Both of my children agreed that the most fun part of our trip to the Big Island was the Dolphin Quest! We truly had a wonderful time.
始まる前に、海に生物についてレクチャーがあります。簡単な英語でインストラクターさんが説明している様子でしたが、英語にそれほどなじめていない小2と年長なので、けっこうポカンとしていました。もう少しゆっくりとした口調で、絵本とか何か見せながらの説明であれば、なお良かったと思います。なんとか、その時間をやり過ごし、いざドルフィンラグーンへ。いろいろなふれあいのパターンをしてくれて本当にお利口なイルカでした。お腹や顔、胸ヒレ、尾ビレとタッチができ、それぞれの子供のベストショットを狙って、カメラマンもスタンバイ。20分以上、十分に楽しむことができ、子供たちも大満足でした。その様子は、ビデオやカメラで自由に撮ることもできましたし、もちろん撮ってもらったスナップ写真や画像データの購入もできました。子供たちだけのグループで、子供目線でのプログラムが良かったと思います。二人の「ハワイ島旅行で1番の楽しかったこと♪」が「ドルフィン・クエスト♪」で一致!本当に素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。

the snorkeling itself was good but not great. not a large variety of sea life. the water was very choppy. Crew were good and helpful. Food was really bad.
Aloha krm,
We so appreciate your business! I can't imagine how BBQ cheeseburgers disappointed you this much, but we apologize nonetheless.
In terms of our snorkel site, I personally have never had a bad experience, and wish I could have been your personal guide. If anyone out there reads this review before they come out on a trip with us, just know that any crew member is happy to verbally guide you to some of the best areas to snorkel at our exclusive site.
Finally, sometimes the ocean is choppy. We couldn't run a company like ours if that were a consistent state of our shoreline waters, but it does happen, and is beyond our control. We are always ready with remedies for motion sickness though!
Thank you again for your feedback. We hope that you'll give it another try some day.

It was a day with high waves and quite murky water, but the dolphins seemed to be in a good mood, coming close multiple times, allowing us to see them both on the surface and underwater.
Also, the love that our guides, Ray and Daisuke, had for the dolphins was wonderful. They prioritized not making the dolphins uncomfortable, which I believe is a rule we must follow when interacting with wild dolphins.
Since the tour takes place in an area where you can't touch the bottom at all, you'll float in a wetsuit, and Ray and Daisuke provide maximum advice and support. However, to fully enjoy this tour, I think it would be more fun if you try snorkeling in shallow waters or have the guts to dive in without being able to touch the bottom.
Thank you to the dolphins who healed us, to Ray and Daisuke for the opportunity, and to everyone who participated! ✨
波が高く、結構水が濁っていた日でしたが、イルカの機嫌がよかったようで、何回も近くに来てくれてたくさん海面でも海中でも見ることができました。
また、ガイドのレイさんとダイスケさんのイルカに対する愛がとても素敵でした。イルカに嫌な思いをさせないことを最優先にする、それは私たちが野生のイルカと触れ合うにあたって守らなきゃいけないルールだなと思いました。
全く足なんてつかない海域でのツアーになるので、ウェットスーツで浮きますし、レイさんとダイスケさんが最大限のアドバイスとフォローもしてくださりますが、このツアーを楽しみ切るならシュノーケリングは浅瀬で楽しんで経験してみたり、足つかなくてもどんとこーいくらいのガッツがあるとより楽しいツアーになると思います。
癒してくれたイルカとその機会をくれたレイさん、ダイスケさん、一緒に参加した方たち、ありがとうございました✨

I would like the group size to be a bit smaller. With 6 people in one group, it's already expensive at 3 minutes per person just by simple calculation. Also, the purchase of digital photos starts at $55 for 2 photos! After that, it's $22 per photo. Buying 4 photos costs $99, which is too high and quite shocking.
グループの人数をもう少し少なくしてほしい。1グループ6人で、単純計算しても一人当たり3分間で高い。またデジタル写真購入がなんと2枚からで55ドル!そのあとは1枚あたり22ドル。4枚購入して99ドル、高すぎで、呆れた。

I had a lot of fun, but even though I arrived early at the meeting place, it seems there was an explanation in English, which I struggle with. As a result, I ended up boarding the boat late, and the only seats available were on the sunny second floor, but I managed to find a spot that was somewhat shaded from the sun.
I felt a sense of alienation, realizing what it's like when you can't communicate. I had to observe the people around me while eating... For those who are not good at English at all, please pay attention to the people around you.
The sea is beautiful, and the staff are kind, but I was a bit disappointed.
とても楽しかったんですが、集合場所に早くに集まったのに、英語での説明はあったらしいが、英語が苦手。その為船に乗るのが遅くなり、二階の日の当たる席しか空いてなく、どうにか日差し遮る場所に座れました。

It was a large boat, so I didn't mind the rocking. It probably depends on the sea conditions, but last year, when my mother participated in a different tour, she got seasick and had to sit out. This time, she finished her hamburger for lunch. At the snorkeling point, we encountered a sea turtle. On the way back, dolphins chased the boat.
I recommend the pricing for accompanying passengers. Even if snorkeling isn't possible, it's great for families who want to enjoy cruising together.
大きな船なので、船揺れが気になりませんでした。
海のコンディションにもよるのでしょうが、去年別のツアーに参加した際は船酔いでダウンしていた母が、今回はランチのハンバーガーを完食していました。
シュノーケルポイントではウミガメと遭遇。帰路はイルカが船を追いかけてきました。
同乗者料金の設定があるもお勧めポイント。

I could see the magnificent history of volcanoes from the past known only to the creator of the Earth up to today, June 27, 2019. The overlapping rivers created by the old and new lava flows from Kilauea, swallowing everything—human activities, roads, and fields—what incredible power. I could see how the lava flows that poured into the sea expanded this island. The awe of nature's power is evident. And the black sand beach that formed is perhaps a joke-filled gift from the gods to humanity. Next, at Kobaruyama, time transformed the lava into fertile soil that nurtures lush trees, and erosion created breathtaking canyons and waterfalls that drop 400 meters—these stunning views were experienced by the helicopter guests. Finally, the awareness and proactivity of the island's people in coexisting with the volcanoes, as shared by pilot Mochizuki, will likely stay with me for life, as I lead a rather ordinary existence. Moreover, this first helicopter tour of my life allowed me to witness the Earth's activities from a bird's-eye view. It may sound a bit exaggerated, but it changed my perspective on life.
地球の創造者しか知り得ない過去から2019.06.27の今日に至るまでの火山が織り成す壮大な歴史が見えた。キラウエアから生まれた新旧の溶岩流が作り出す重なり合った川、人の営み、道路、畑、すべてを呑み込んで流れた様子、なんという偉力。そして海に流れ込んだ溶岩流がこの島を広げていった様子が一望できる。自然の力の凄さが見える。そしてとったんに出来た黒砂海岸は神さまから人へのジョーク交じりのプレゼントか。次に小原山、時間は溶岩を緑豊かな木々を育む土へと変え、また浸食によって絶景を織り成す渓谷や400mから落ちる滝、これら身震いをしてしまう景色をヘリのゲストは味わった。最後に望月パイロットが語れたこの島の人達の火山との共存意識とその積極性は平凡な日常しか無い私の耳から生涯離れそうもない。それどころかこの人生初のヘリコプター遊覧は地球の営みを鳥の目線で目の当たりに出来た。少し大袈裟かもしれないが人生観を変えた。

We participated as a couple on our honeymoon trip. Fortunately, we encountered dolphins shortly after setting sail on the boat! We were able to see these wild dolphins up close, which I thought I could only see in an aquarium. It was moving to hear the sounds of dolphins that I had only heard on television! There were times when the dolphins would swim away to take a break, but our guide, Ray, and the captain made an effort to ensure that participants had as much time as possible to interact with the dolphins. I think even those who are not good swimmers can enjoy the experience with the solid support from the guides. I could feel the love for dolphins from both Mr. Nawa and guide Ray, and I definitely want to join this tour again.

I participated alone since my friend is not comfortable with the ocean, but the other participants were friendly, and thanks to our guide Daisuke, I had a wonderful time! I wasn't familiar with our guide, but he is also a photographer for dolphins and whales, and the tour itself is a warm experience that values the feelings of the dolphins.
After about 40 minutes out to sea, we encountered a group of dolphins. The guide communicated with the dolphins and led us, allowing us to see them up close. When a dolphin slowly approached us at such a close distance and we locked eyes, I was so moved that I shed tears! We also got to see the spinning jumps of the spinner dolphins multiple times. This tour filled me with gratitude for the dolphins' kindness and the beauty of the ocean as seen from the boat. I highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting the Big Island of Hawaii. (Afterward, my friend was inspired by my excitement and wanted to join, but the reservations were fully booked for several days ahead, so be sure to book early!)
友達が海は苦手ということで1人参加しましたが、参加者の方々もフレンドリーで、ガイドのだいすけさんのおかげで心地よく過ごせました!ガイドの方は存じ上げなかったのですが、イルカやクジラさんたちの写真家でもあり、ツアー自体もイルカの気持ちを大事にしている暖かいツアーです。
40分ほどで沖に出るとイルカさんたちがわらわらいました。ガイドの方がイルカとコミュニケーションを取りながら誘導してくれたので、間近で見れましたし、真横にゆっくり!?至近距離で来てくれたイルカさんとジッーと目が合ったときは、感動して涙が出ちゃいました!
回転しながらジャンプするというスピナードルフィンぶりも何度も見せてくれました。イルカの優しさやボートから見る海の美しさに感謝でいっぱいになるツアーです。ハワイ島にきたらまずオススメしたいと思います。(その後、私の感動っぷりに触発された友達が参加しようとしましたが、数日先まで予約が埋まっていたのでお早めに!)

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。
本当にありがとうございました!
またハワイ島を訪れることができたら、ぜひまた参加したいです!!

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!

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^
最初はなかなかイルカのポイントが見つからず、ワイコロア周辺まで船で走り続け、心配になってきたところで船が止まり、海に入ります。!
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!!!
レイさん、アキさん、いろんな話を聞かせてもらい、とても柔らかい人柄で楽しく過ごせました。本当にありがとうございました!

It was my first time riding in a helicopter, and I was very moved to see the Big Island from above. Since the pilot was not Japanese, it was a bit disappointing that there were many parts of the pilot's explanations that we couldn't understand, as we are not very good at English.
ヘリコプターに乗るのは初めてでしたがハワイ島を上空から観れてとても感動しました。日本人パイロットではなっかたので、英語があまり得意ではない私達はパイロットの説明が理解出来ない部分が多かったのが少し残念でした。
