Captain Steve made our experience very special. We stopped in two snorkel spots, saw some caves close up, had a nice snack and lunch. Were told neat things about the island and the locations we snorkeled at.
The waters were a little choppy. We felt very safe with Steves driving. The tour states it is not good for someone with any physical issues. There was some bouncing around on the boat, so we would agree with that.
Professional Company. They offered a few different types of snorkeling tours. Pick one-- you won't be disappointed.

The boat and crew were great! The snorkeling equipment was first class. We didn't see that much wildlife at the two stops. A lot of small fish. The second stop was better. Didn't notice in the sign-up that the BBQ was vegan. That is nice for folks who like it but it would have been good to offer non-vegan food as well. We paid extra for the food on the cruise and I would have liked some regular food. Overall, the bar and drinks offered were very good and served with a smile. My wife thought the boat and seating were the best. The crew were very informative and happy to share their knowledge and culture with the guests. Would do it again!

I really enjoyed my experience. It’s not just snorkeling but they had paddle boats, water tube, a mat that allowed you to lay out in the ocean. The lunch cruise had grilled hornet burgers with soft buns. The drinks were tasty! Crew was friendly but very strict when it came to the rules, however, everyone made it back home safely.

I heard that you can see almost 100% of them, and I really did! However, dolphins are incredibly fast! Haha. It's obvious, but they are super quick, and I had a hard time taking pictures! So, I recommend using a GoPro or something to record videos and then cutting clips from those!

We participated as a mother-daughter duo with no snorkeling experience. My mother is in her 60s. Initially, we joined with the mindset that just seeing dolphins from the boat would be enough, but once we set off, we were encouraged by our guide to go into the water. My mother, who can hardly swim, used a float, but the guide skillfully led us, and she was incredibly moved to see the dolphins from the best spot. I was impressed by the professionalism of the guide. Not only was the encounter rate with dolphins high, but the guide also kept track of the participants' names and how much they were enjoying themselves, even while wearing snorkeling gear. This was amidst many other tours. It was truly amazing. Although it was more active than other tours, the love for dolphins from our guide shone through. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves dolphins.
シュノーケリング経験のない母娘で参加しました。母は60代です。
当初は船の上からイルカを観れるだけでもという気持ちで参加しましたが、いざ出発するとガイドの方の勢いに後押しされ海の中へ。ろくに泳げない母は浮を借りながらですが、ガイドさんがしっかりと誘導してくれたので一番の特等席でイルカを観られたと大変感動していました。ガイドさんのプロの仕事はこういうものか。と感銘を受けました。イルカとの遭遇率のみならず、シュノーケリングを着けた上からでもツアー参加者の名前と楽しめているかをしっかりと把握してくれます。他ツアーが沢山入り混じる中でです。本当に凄い。他のツアーよりもアクティブでしたが、イルカを愛するガイドさんの愛が伝わってきました。イルカ好きには何度でもおすすめ出来ます。

My wife and I participated together. It was a nice day with some waves, but both of us suffered from severe seasickness. While we were snorkeling in the water, it was fine, but once we got back on the boat, the seasickness returned, and we both struggled until we returned to port. That said, the crew's performance and the tour itself were completely fine. The low rating is simply due to our own physical condition. The meeting place was at the beautiful port in Kona, which was also convenient for sightseeing.
妻と二人で参加しました。天気の良い日で波も多少でしたが、自分と妻の両方とも酷い船酔いに苦しみました。シュノーケリングで海の中にいるときは良いのですが船に上がると船酔いが再発して帰港まで二人して苦しみました。とはいえクルーの皆様の働きぶりやツアーそのものは全く問題ないものです。評価が低いのは単純に自分達の体調の問題からの経験です。集合場所は観光にも便利なコナの港でとても綺麗でした。

When it comes to Hawaii, I've seen so many dolphin tours on TV that I thought I wouldn't be too surprised, but it was completely different. It was incredibly fun and is definitely something you should experience! The guides, Daisuke, Rei, and Koichiro, not only gently pointed out the direction of the dolphins but also ensured that the person who stayed on the boat kept an eye on everyone in the water, allowing us to safely and comfortably swim close to the dolphins.
You can't say you've been to Hawaii if you don't do this!
ハワイ と言えば というくらい散々テレビで観ていたイルカツアーだから
そんなに驚愕しないと思って臨みましたが、 全く違います。

I encountered a family of bottlenose dolphins, which are not commonly seen in Hawaii—only about once in twenty times! The guides took plenty of time to ensure everyone could definitely see them. I was with an elderly couple who didn’t have the stamina to swim, but the guide helped pull them along to see the dolphins. This is definitely a tour I want to repeat when I go back to Hawaii!

I thought I would only be able to see the dolphins from a distance, but I was able to see them quite closely! I appreciated that the guide positioned himself in places where the dolphins were likely to come. He was also a friendly person.
The dolphins swam quite fast, and I felt like I was swimming more than just leisurely snorkeling. (laughs) My husband and I were used to snorkeling and good swimmers, so we could keep up, but others who participated seemed quite exhausted. Well, it's to be expected since they are wild.
I was satisfied because meeting the dolphins was the main goal, but considering the price, I felt the time was a bit short, so I would rate it minus one star. We probably spent about 45 minutes in the water, and we wrapped up shortly after 10 AM.
I fully understand that we shouldn't have long interactions with wild dolphins, but if there are areas nearby with coral and fish, I think it would be appropriate to include snorkeling there for the price.
もっと遠くからしか見えないと思っていましたが、なかなかの距離でイルカちゃんが見えました!
ガイドさんがイルカちゃんが来そうなところに先回りしてくれるのが有り難かったです。ガイドさんも気さくな方でした。
イルカちゃんは泳ぐのが結構早く、ゆっくりシュノーケリングというよりは随分水泳させられた気はします。笑
私達夫婦はシュノーケリングに慣れていたのと、泳ぐのも得意だったのでついていけましたが、一緒に参加されていた方は相当疲労困憊していました。。
野生なので、仕方ないですけどね。。
イルカちゃんに会うのが目的だったので満足していますが、お値段を考えると時間が短かったかな〜と思いマイナス1です。たぶん潜ったのは45分くらいかな?午前10時すぎには解散となりました。
野生イルカに長い時間接触すべきではないというのは重々理解していますが、近隣にサンゴやお魚がいるようなところがあれば、そこでのシュノーケリングもできると、お値段に相応かなと思いました。

We moved to the meeting point by rental car. There was no parking, so we had to park on the street. We were the only Japanese people there, and there seemed to be many elderly white people. I had heard there were two snorkeling points, but there was only one at Captain Cook, which was a bit disappointing. The staff were energetic and cheerful, and since the explanations were only in English, I couldn't understand anything, but they were very kind and friendly, which made me feel completely at ease. I didn't have high expectations for the meal since it was on the boat (sorry), but it turned out to be very delicious. The hamburgers had unlimited toppings, so I piled on as much as I wanted without hesitation. There were drinks available, but they were just okay. On the way back, we encountered a family of whales, and they kindly stopped the boat so we could observe them closely.
レンタカーで集合場所まで移動。駐車場がないので路駐になりました。日本人は私達だけ。白人のお年寄りが多い印象でした。2か所と聞いていたシュノーケルポイントはキャプテンクック1か所だけで、少し物足りなかったです。スタッフさんは元気で明るく、説明は英語だけでしたから全く理解はできませんでしたがとても優しくフレンドリーで感じが良くて、不安になることは一つもありませんでした。食事は船上ということもあり期待をしていなかったのですが(ごめんなさい)、これがとても美味しかった。ハンバーガーは自分で好きなだけトッピングできたので遠慮なくたくさん乗せました。飲み物はありますがいまいち。帰りにクジラの家族に遭遇し、わざわざ船を止めてくれたのでゆっくり見学できました。

I was so excited for my first tour swimming with dolphins! However, I’m not a great swimmer and hadn’t swum in about ten years, so I was a bit nervous wondering if I would be okay. But there was absolutely no problem at all.
Lucky for us, a large pod of dolphins came by multiple times, and I lost count of how many dives we did. Interestingly, no other boats were out that day, so it felt like we had Aloha Tours all to ourselves.
When we got really close to the dolphins, they didn’t seem to avoid us at all and showed such curious expressions; they were so cute! I was moved by the sight of dolphins playing with each other, a mother and her baby swimming together, their adorable sounds, and the beautiful bubbles created by their breathing sparkling through the curtain of light. It was a wonderful experience to be in such a beautiful, mysterious world, and the time spent with them became a cherished memory.
Also, Daisuke's bubble ring diving performance was amazing; he looked just like a dolphin! Lei was always cracking jokes, which kept the atmosphere lively and made it so much fun! Thank you so much for allowing us to meet the dolphins!!
初めてイルカと一緒に泳ぐツアーにワクワク!しかし泳ぎは得意じゃないし、もう10年位は泳いでいなかったので(いきなり大丈夫か?)とドキドキでしたが全く問題なかったです。
ラッキーなことに何度もイルカの大群がやって来て何度ダイブしたか分からなくなる程でした。またこの日は何故か他の船が一隻も出港しておらず、アロハツアーズ貸切状態でした。
イルカ達と大接近した時も私達を避ける様子もなく、興味ありげな表情を見せてとても可愛かったです。イルカ同士がじゃれ合っている様子や親子で泳ぐ姿、可愛い鳴き声、そしてイルカの呼吸でできた美しい泡が、光のカーテンの中をキラキラと流れていく光景に感動しました。美しい神秘の世界にお邪魔させて頂き、共に過ごせた一時が幸せでとても良い思い出になりました。
また、ダイスケさんのバブルリング潜りのパフォーマンスも素晴らしく、まるでイルカのようでしたヨ!レイさんもジョークを飛ばして船上では常に盛り上がりとても楽しかったです!イルカちゃん達に会わせて頂き、本当にありがとうございました!!

In the morning, a handsome guide took us to a spot where dolphins gather. From the boat, we could see the dolphins jumping, and the excitement was high. Once we entered the water, guided by the handsome guide, we were able to swim right next to the dolphins, which was an incredible experience! The dolphins came back multiple times, so we swam until we were exhausted. Advanced swimmers were diving down to take photos.
There were many boats on the water, but once you’re in the sea, the crowd isn’t too bothersome. There are no shower facilities, but if you go to the boat's washing area, you can rinse off the seawater along with the boat (laughs). There’s a spacious restroom, so you wear your swimsuit on the way there and change back in the restroom on the way back. If you’re prone to motion sickness, it’s best to take some medication in advance, as the boat can be quite rocky, and some people seemed to struggle with it.
午前中にイルカが集まるスポットに、イケメンガイド君が連れて行ってくれます。
ボートの上からもジャンプするイルカたちが見えて、盛り上がりは上々です。
海に入ると、イケメンガイド君の誘導で、こんなに近くにというくらい真横をキープ。水面近くを一緒に泳ぎ、感動!!! しかもイルカは何度もやってくるので、こちらも体力限界まで泳ぎました。上級者の方々は潜って写真を撮っていました。
海上には多くのボートが集まっていましたが、海に入ってしまえば人の多さはさほど気になりません。
シャワー設備はありませんが、ボートの洗い場へ同行すれば、ボートと一緒に海水を落とすことはできます(笑) 広いトイレがあるので、往きは水着着用、帰りはトイレで着替えます。
車酔いする方は、予め酔い止めを飲んだほうがよいです。ボートが結構揺れるので、かなり辛そうな方がいました。

Before departing the port, we had a great start by seeing a large sea turtle up close. As we left the port and the guide began explaining the points where we could see dolphins, we encountered a pod of dolphins in less than a minute. After that, we continued to watch them in the water. The guide's explanations were clear and helpful. It was said that we were quite lucky this time. I took motion sickness medication to avoid getting seasick, and I was fully prepared, but there was no time to feel sick. However, I was quite exhausted afterward. Since they mentioned that seeing wild dolphins can depend on luck, it’s not guaranteed that every trip will be as enjoyable as this one, but I was very satisfied.
出港して港を出る前に大きなウミガメを間近で見れて幸先の良いスタート。港を出て、これからイルカのみれるポイントに・・と説明が始まった途端にイルカの群れに遭遇、1分もかかってなかったです。それから、ずっと海の中でみ続けてました。ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすくて良かったです。今回はかなり運が良かったとの事です。船酔いしない様に酔い止めの薬も飲んでバッチリ準備したのに、酔う暇もありませんでした。ただ、終わってからどっと疲れが。野生のイルカなので、運、不運があるとの事でしたので、いつも今回の様に楽しめるとは限らないそうですが、大変満足しました。

I had only experienced snorkeling twice before, but I decided to join based on the words on the website saying "Japanese guides provide solid support." They first checked to see if anyone was not confident in swimming and paid attention to us, but with a large group, it was clear that even two guides couldn't provide complete support. However, they explained how the wetsuits work to reassure us and quickly handed out floatation devices, doing their best to support us. Thanks to that, I managed to swim without a floatation device on my second dive. In fact, I could swim faster without it! Fortunately, we encountered dolphins right away. Instead of swimming alongside them, we positioned ourselves ahead of their path and waited for them to swim below us, which was an amazing experience. I think we floated in the sea for nearly an hour, but it felt like no time at all while chasing the dolphins. I would love to participate again.
シュノーケリングは2回しか経験がなかったですが「日本語ガイドがしっかりサポート」というHPの言葉を信じて参加してみました。
最初に泳ぎが苦手な人の確認をして気を配ってくれますが、人数が多いとさすがにガイドさん2人では手が足りなくなるので完全サポートとまではいきません。
でも、ウエットスーツの仕組みを説明して安心させてくれたり、浮き棒をすぐに渡してくれたりできる限りのサポートをしてくれます。
おかげで2回目のダイブからは浮き棒無しでもなんとか泳げました。というか、ない方が早く泳げる!
肝心のイルカは運が良く、すぐに出会えました。
イルカの横を泳ぐ訳ではなく、イルカの進路に先回りしてイルカが下を泳ぐのを待っている感じでしたが、同じ場所を泳いでる感動がありました。
おそらく1時間近く海を漂ってたと思いますが、イルカを追っていてあっという間でした。
また参加してしたいです。

I was truly moved to see so many dolphins swimming right in front of me!! The guide also mentioned that we were lucky today, and we were able to enjoy snorkeling without moving around too much in the boat! At one point, Daisuke was swimming with the dolphins too, and he dove in so quickly, it was like he was a dolphin! I made sure to engrave the experience in my memory, but I later thought it would have been great to rent a GoPro to look back on it. The weather was also favorable, making it a wonderful memory. This tour allows you to arrive at the spot before other tour boats, so you can be the first to swim with the dolphins! Since it finishes in the morning, I was able to join the Mauna Kea tour in the afternoon, making for a fulfilling day. Next time, I want to participate again with a GoPro rental!
過去に一度日本で野生のイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加した時は、
あまり近づいてくれませんでしたが、今回は目の前にイルカがきてくれました!!
出発してから3分も経たないくらいで、ボート横にイルカが泳いでいました。
すぐに群れのところに到着し、たくさんのイルカと一緒に泳ぐことができました。目の前でたくさんのイルカが泳いでいるのを見れて、本当に感動しました!!
ガイドさんも今日はラッキーと仰っていましたが、あまりボートで移動することなく、シュノーケリングを楽しむことができました!
途中だいすけさんも一緒にイルカと泳いでいましたが、あっという間に潜っていてまるでイルカのようでした!
しっかり目に焼き付けましたが、後から見返せるようにGoProレンタルをすればよかったなと思いました。
天候にも恵まれ、良い思い出になりました。
このツアーでは、他のツアーの船が来る前に、ポイントに到着できるので、一番乗りでイルカと泳ぐことができるそうです!
午前中で終わるので、午後からはマウナケアツアーに参加でき、充実した1日になりました。
次回はGoProレンタルでまた参加したいです!
